Thomas Okon Poem
None of this will make any sense to you now
But one day you’ll see
You’re restoring my soul
I’ve seen you grow up
I was in the waiting room when you were born
I helped you with your first words
I wish you could stay five forever
The way you hug me when I’m down
Asking me to carry you when you’re too tired to walk
I see you staring at people during church
Forming impressions of the outside world
Not giving a damned what these people think
Showing me what it’s like to be young again
And stop taking this life so seriously
I may be experiencing a prolonged adolescence
Yet I’m loving every minute of it.

Thomas Okon Poem
Looking into the ground
I knew I had seen a better day, but when?
Yet there you stood before me raising my chin
To see the light streaming over your face
I was blinded for that single moment
And then everything just came together
You make me weak in the knees
But oh what a feeling!
The warmth of your caressing hands
As I look up into your eyes
And know you’re the one
Made everything else in life seem so miniscule
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
I can see everything before us
I want to be there when you’re down
Putting my arms around you never felt so right!
Your lips, your eyes, your hair, your hands
Those hands, God never made hands so delicate!
Knowing, not just hoping, I know it
I can see it in the way you smile, you’re the one
I can taste you on my lips
I can smell you on my clothes
Where have you been all of these years?
