Strong
Elegant
Robust
Energetic
Natur al
Agile
Your cherubic face that frequently
Explodes with iron-melting smiles
Is like dry season moon
In its full bloom
That tames every darkness
On her enchanting path
An open invitation
To African men
Of valour to attend
Gainful moonlight games
Without chilling fairy tales
Mother Africa epitomized
Strong as a matronly muturu
With power brandishing biceps
Holding your robust frame firmly
As though they were developed
And trained
At Ugbawka paddy field
Under the wooing eyes of the
African sun
Accompanied by fondling rains
That shake hands across
Seasons-dividing net
Like two players after a game
True African woman
Resplendent and resolute
Nourished with fufu and ehwah
Soup decked with orisi-risi
That empower your prancing legs
At honour-conferring courts
Dazzling like mirror in the sun
Standing upright like invincible
Bamboo stakes that support and guide
Enterprising tender yam tendrils
Simple
Ebullient
Responsibl e
Enterprising
Nimble
Attractive
