ADANMA: BEAUTY AND THE DAUGHTER.

Quintessence of womanhood!

Mixture of the good and the light

Uxorial perfection

Mother of five men

And the mother of another daughter,

Beauty and the daughter.



Not with the hypocrite's eye

Not with a cursed son's plea

But with full joys

Full joys of a blessed son

And hopes of another life with you

Do I sing to you

Mother of five men

And the mother of another daughter

Beauty and the daughter.



Where begin I my praise

My thoughts run to your looks

Brown chocolate hue

Smooth womanhood

With a smile of gentle breeze

Enriched with glory

More have I yet to tell..

Mother of five men

And the mother of another daughter

Beauty and the daughter.



Filled with wisdom

You made it known

The strength in your sex,

For in all strides

You did outshine..

In class,the best

Among teachers, the best

Among head teachers, the very best

Mother of five men

And the mother of another daughter

Beauty and the daughter.



Teacher of life

In you we found all truth

As we moved into life

In your laps, so much comfort we saw

As the days went past

We learnt all we knew

And happy, we had you..

Mother of five men

And the mother of another daughter

Beauty and the daughter.



And in those tmes uncertain

In those years of ignorance

In wealth and in want

Whe sick and pale

When lonely and sad

You ever present

Was quick to comfort and uplift

To cheer us up again

Mother of five men

And the mother of another daughter

Beauty and the daughter.



Take your salute

And let us live again by you

Woman, greater than woman

Mother of all mothers

In character, you stood out

In love, unparalelled

Mother of five men

And the mother of another daughter

Beauty and the daughter.
