I VOW

I VOW

(a note to my wife on her wedding day)

*I never believed that you exist

And even in the rare, slightest possibility that you did

You would definitely not want me*

I will always remember the day we met

With you blushing through you smooth fair skin

And your sweet beautiful smile got me stuttering on words like ‘is’ and ‘hi’

We took baby steps

And day by day, we grew

You are my woman

You are life as I see it, ife mi

The favourite picture of my reality

My rythm, raggae & blues

I cannot promise you the sun, the moon and the galaxy

*That would be a beautifully wrapped empty promise

Tied with bows of colors of wishful thinking*

But to love you, I vow

To be there when you sulk, I vow

For better; for worse I’ll stay, I vow

Through thick and thin we will remain, I vow

**For your sake and mine
And the dreams growing
In the womb of our hearts

May we find favour with Olorun

And with the creator by whose
Gracious providence
We tangled**

I will love you always
