I Know An Empress

Diamonds aren't just beautiful stones,
They are precious and rare stones.
I know an empress whose heart glitters like a diamond;
Whose personality is like that of a diamond.

My soul she awakes to good cheers;
Her words dry away tears;
Her soft voice calm the surges of the soul;
Her kindness makes the darkest night roll.

I know an empress,
Whose magnanimity compliments her kindness,
Her selflessness eliminates selfishness,
Her beauty complements her meekness.

Oh, come and spread thy cheerful ray
Show the world the pathway; 
Show the world how generosity heals,
Oh, teach the world that malevolence kills.

Dedicated to the Special One, OMOTOLANI AJOKE (Kean)
