She’s in the sun
the stars and the moon
She’s in the wind
the heat and the rain
She’s in my thoughts
my memories and wishes
She’s my life
my being and existence
She’s gold
not silver or bronze
She’s strong
tough and fierce
She’s somebody
everybody and everything
She hung on with faith
not fear and weakness
She spread love
not sadness or pain
She’s gonna be free
spread her wings and fly
Dedicated to my Mum; Wuraola Fehintola Shittu
