I HAD LIGHTS - Abiola Bonuola
I had sunshine,
She smiled at me
On a cold Thursday afternoon
She had no words to say
but who needed words
When she had eyes
That told me
I was strong
I had moonlight,
She winked at me
On a hot Friday
She was sorry
I was about to sleep
She told me
I was ready for work
And miracles
And I believe her
I had starlight
He danced this way
And that
On a cool Saturday night
He was glad
I could stay up
So he twinkled, twinkled
And I dreamt of stories in time
I had earthlight
He was fierce and crude
On a hot Sunday night
He hardly visits me
You see
But when he does
Just like Branch
He brings good tidings
So naturally
I felt I was Poppy
