ANOTHER GOLD ( for Ijeoma Nwagbo)
From all earth's deeps
And wombs, endless; vast
Exudes purity so high
Earth's wealth mark
Bright,
Sparkling,
Precious and prized,
Yet stone dead...
Dearest of earth births,
Golden gold.
From the deeps of a mother
And her womb, aye! blessed
Exudes purity even higher
Earth's wealth mark
Brighter,
Most sparkling,
More precious and prized,
Yet full of life
Dearest of mother's births,
Ijeoma, you are, another gold...
The purer of the two.
