Ode to a Precious Jewel A priceless jewel is what you are A gift prepared from eternity A life fitted for the one that most needed it For a people that most desired it. A mother to millions you are A rare sense of candour you possess On your tongue dwells the law of kindness Bringing home those who once strayed. You are the gracious crown that befits the royal head Your husband is known and respected in the gates When he sits among the elders of the land You brought peace and rest into his life He has no lack of gain.
Your children rise up and call you blessed For them a source of comfort you have been A paragon of nobility and selflessness. Nothing short of excellence is your watchword At a time when decadence has taken over the halls of academe Beyond the call of duty you go To entrench the values of Jesus Christ where it is most lacking. You gracefully combine charm with the fear of God You carry yourself with a gait that only befits a woman of God The generation unborn shall yet rejoice As the fire of your lamp is kept ablaze. Jisike! - scripted by Dcns. Helen Oluwapelumi
