My Adamma
With big swinging hips
Succulent looking body
Adorable twinkling eyes
Lips coated with sugar and honey
A face carved in heaven
You re the perfect gift
My Adamma
The heart of warriors beat faster
At the mere sight of you
The envy of the village girls
The one who is called beauty
Even kings sing your praises
Champions kill each other for your attention
Poets mouth your praises
But like the Danube
You have remained my longest thought
My Adamma
I ᵃm but a mere boy
Out of a cluster of men
Why make me your target?
My house sits at the furthest bushy part
In the region of no hope
I dance in the corridors of poverty
Licking lollipop as food
I have no enclave decorated with gold
My house is made of mud and thatch roof
But I ᵃm blessed with the purest of hearts
My soul houses care and goodwill
My life speaks of humility
My world is nothing but simple
My Adamma
You make me shy
Your words give me hope
I ᵃm of the lowliest of men
Boasting of nothing but my handsomeness
You made me mighty
You are a Princess
Born of royalty
Commander of a great empire
Petted and washed with the purest of waters
Fed the most sumptuous of dishes
Honored, respected and worshiped
But I grace the opposite of these
With nothing to show
My Adamma
What will people say?
What will my fate be?
Now I sit in remembrance chair
A royal I have become
The king and commander of your heart
The owner of a great empire
Because you gave me life
A tear will drop not from your eyes
My life I give for your happiness
Your words my ears must command
Your kind heart I will flood with praises
Your whispers shall awake my thought
Because you are a goddess
The one who resurrected me
My beautiful ‘onyinye’
My Adamma.

If she loves you, your state in life is the least in her world.
Though yours is a lowly state, in her sight, a lofty mountain you are.
Well written.
Awwww…this kind woman na im we dey find jare. Beautiful on the outside and inside.

Lovely! consider rephrasing the line about lollipops, it doesnt go well with the picture of a poor rural guy. Very good. Well done.
