She Will Be
Ugonna Wachuku
She will be to you
a new song at the
candid country-side;
a new, refreshing
river by the river
Rhone and river Niger.
She will be to you
a lasting flower
from the garden.
She will be to us
a beauty of the gods
on lush landscapes
at home.
She will be to them
a fertile fountain on
the barren brook-land.
She will be all that
we want her to be.
And to me, she will be
a new morning of strength;
a new dawn of love and
hopeful courage on this
troubling road through
life.
On the road to my
leaning longing
heart's humble home,
she will build my
old world anew.
On the road to
Essertines, she
will be ...
Faith in hoping yield thus the yeoman ploughs his land! Your poem was a beautiful read.

Dear Ugonna, For me "She will be" is a spirit of faith; an essence of life that replenishes the thirsty soul and allow us to walk through the long darkness into dawn. Your words are eloquently soft and filled with a scenic imagery that gently relates the essence of your theme. Beautifully fluent in sound and meaning, this poem stays with the reader long after the first and second reading. Thank you for the loveliness Wendy
