Roses in the tropics

Happy Birthday to my lovely wife Uche. This attempt at poetry is just for you…

If I had a garden
I’ll plant roses just for you
If I had an orchard
Lovely grapes will I only grow

Such luxury, in tropical Lagos
The weather wouldn’t let
Yet I must find a way to express
This great feeling inside of me

Then I pick up my pen
And like a spring, words flow
I wax lyrical, even poetic
In my bid, roses to grow

It’s exciting to know
One so beautiful and regal
Yet so sweet and loving
That I’m just enthused

I’ve done the unthinkable
My roses are in full bloom
The sweet fragrance engulfs me
And I hope they are a delight to you

    I can hardly speak about you without tears welling up in my eyes.
    You have shown me that loving someone never gets boring or stale.
