MEMORIES - Abiola Bonuola
Mango reminds me
of Mangoro
Which speaks
stories of memories
Long forgotten
Ever cherished
I sat at the balcony
At Magbon
Washing clothes
Of sweat
and pain away
And I thought of
The One
always in our thoughts
Though we push
Him away
Him,
The Ever Lasting One
Who sends,
The Amazing Grace
To Agbe Ile Onitiju
Him,
The Sunshine
Who sends help
To me,
The deserted one
Him,
Our greatest Art maker
Who has taught me
To declare that
I am Art
