My Song To Nigeria

I will tell u a story
My love,
A story of ur beauty to tell
The beauty of ur natural skin to
spell
I will tell u a story
For each strand of ur hairs
Shy green hairs in harmattan's
whirling wind
Those hairs that beautify your 
black
skin
I will tell you a story
Of praise to each colour on your
blouse
That green which connotes fertility
And the white which depicts your
purity
I would love to tell u dis 
story,not
on a moonless night but on a day
like dis,
But I can't cause tears still blur
my vision
These same tears has eclipsed my
mission
I will tell you a story
An apology for my past promises
At your younger years
Those years u toiled nd toiled with
no father
I will tell you dis story
When my tear-blurred eyes are clear
again
I will tell u dis story like an
opera
I will sing to you my son,my
LOVE,'NIGERIA'
