To a Loving sister
Every letter in your name was picked
To describe an Angel you are -
Everloving, zealous, industrious,
Nice and never ending-care
Ezinne!
A name that echoes love in my ears,
And carries in it ,good memories from the dark nights of my yesteryears.
Ezinne!
You're the reason, I still believe that life ain't totally unfair to me.
For You're a treasure that life kept for me
Years before I walked out of the door between mother's leg.
Ezinne!
You're a metaphor that explains my life's blessings;
A rose that beautified the garden of my life, covered with weeds.
A moon whose borrowed light shun on me, in my darkest night.
Ezinne!
If I should Paint you with words;
Oceans of ink won't be enough.
If I should count your goodness towards me,
It will be like counting my breath from the day of my birth.
Ezinne!
Each time I count my blessings, I count you twice.
For those voice that encouraged me when fell
and the hands that help me up the mountain of greatest.
I say, you're ink in the pages of my heart till tomorrow calls me late.

A poem I wrote for my sister on her birthday.
I just want to save it here.
