Nelia

She was standing there lonely
That beautiful girl
Her shape was so lovely
Her silhouette could tell
She was made

Her mind-sizzling smile wasn’t a folktale
You could see that when you talk to her
Her body wasn’t for sell
She knew she was going somewhere

Her life was full of advice
And she refused none
She took every advice
And scrutinized them one by one

At thirty, she wanted marriage
And she did choose a good boy
A good boy with morals
Did she choose him at teen age?
That was only known by her boy

A wedding came her way
And people could say what they loved to say
Lobola was paid for her
And they all rejoiced
She respected her groom
Her groom also respected her 
Because she had had learnt morals
Stay well Nelia
God loves you Nelia
