                   FADED THANKSGIVING

Baby, I have always been wrong, like damn wrong

I couldn't believe I could forget how you walked through the valley of death as a prize that needed to be paid for us to have our first son

How could I forget those days you needed to kiss the ground with your knee in prayer?

How could I forget the day you left your father's name, the name you have been bearing for the past 27 years of your life and you silently accepted to be bearing my name for the rest of your life?

I couldn't believe I would forget those months you were carrying life inside that feeble stomach in pain that couldn't be expressed by words

Honestly, I have been stupid to have forgotten those sacrifices you singlehandedly made for my existence to be worthy of living

I gave you sperm and you gave me children, not just children, well-trained and glorious children

You turned my home into a paradise

I thought you are weak, I never knew you are stronger than me

My success passed through you for endorsement before it could become a reality

You are gold that could not be bought but can be earned

For years my life has been placed under the governance of incompleteness until you came to make it complete

You are the factor that has been lacking in the equation of my life

You are the entrance to life and death for men

You wallowed in pain and tears for me to be called a Father

Early in the morning, you staggered to the kitchen to make me a quick breakfast while I was still on the bed struggling to resist the temptation of waking up to life

How could I forget those priceless sacrifices you made?

Now I have lost you into the arms of the death

I did all I could to stop you from being snatched by death but I failed in my attempt

I wish I could bring you back into life but that I couldn't do

I was defeated while trying to rescue your soul that was being led to the entrance of the underworld

It was a faded thanksgiving

I must admit, I did fail to recognize your efforts that could not be quantified by money when you were alive

I am a loser who couldn't appreciate you when you were alive

It was a faded thanksgiving

Appreciate your women

                     MY BEAUTIFUL ONYINYE Of course, I read about Esau that nearly betrayed his existence all in the name of hunger that could be quenched by a loaf of bread But I know of a young beautiful lady that is still standing even when the storm of life is still breathing pain around the wall of her breakthrough I know of a young beautiful lady that silently hides her pain inside her smile I have had an encounter with a young beautiful lady whose desire to be great is of no equal and  she wouldn't surrender into the arms of corruption in achieving that I have seen with my eyes how "my beautiful Onyinye" didn't surrender her glowing body into the arms of one ugly giant beast who promised her a record-breaking success It's impossible to believe the reality of the fact that Onyinye still shines in darkness despite the pain that life didn't forget to offer her How can I explain to the world that her beauty still glows brighter than the
