The Poetic Word

Life beyond these walls

BY GLORIA O’KOYE

May each day blow kisses of joy and every night presents you gifts of peace.

Love that speaks tongues across nations

at your doorsteps,

Of unimaginable beauty

We love you!

Our love is

Resilient,

Unconditional,

Sweet like nectar

We miss you!

Every being that enters this world

Carries an abundance of gifts.

Those that are in full bloom,

And plenty in waiting

Waiting to unleash their glory

A glow that continues to shine

Everlasting

Obstacles can never stop your growth

Remember,

That you will always be special

You are worth fighting for

A story

That you can take full ownership of
