Ode To My Grandmother

My northern star To the stars you belong You were the brightest of all stars The star that was ever constant, and never falls Your brightness could have Quench the burning furnace My precious sapphire The precious jewel in the heart of Ibesikpo Asutan The one whose glance Tames the wildest brute I wish I were the sun, shinning at you I wish I were the moon, lightening your avenue To the great paradise of tranquility, And sweet songs of mellifluous melody
