Petals of Forty-Five
green as foliage’s in the sun;
Beauties are forever.
resplendent as the constellation
of stars,
Sunshine's are gems, rare;
of creatures divinely clayed.
hues of gold,
scents of tulips.
the charm, of a river nymph
fleshed-up in the graces of
heaven - Sublime.
angels are known and felt before
the tick of one second;
You are one,
a flower with the big heart
and though few the times together,
your peacocks are largely pronounced as the
fascination of your name – NGOZI
Glow.
Rise.
And twice the span of
four decades and five,
Fly in wings swifter than the eagles
for your stars have a thousand lights.
* Ngozi is an Igbo name that means "blessing".
(In praise of 'Ngozi Ochei; a beauty at 45, and still counting)
