A morning blessings for the one I love
Good morning Ify,
The dawn bends low to greet your face.
Sunlight tiptoes in awe of you,
As I whisper soft prayers into the wind
That peace will rise where your feet treads.
Let your day be draped in quiet joy.
Stitched with calm and flowing ease.
May men and every living creature be kind to you.
May favour surround you like a shield.
Like answered prayers up folding in day light
I do not take your breath for granted.
Every ‘good morning, baby’
Feels like sweet, like an embrace, like home.
So I say Daalu Nkem, for a love like this,
Wrapped in warmth, folded into forever
May your day bloom like a garden after rain, each hour of your day is scented with ease and wealth.
May Grace walk beside you silently like a calm friend.
And joy surprise you, again and again.
Like vow whispered into forever.
