For Pastor Henry Ekene, On His Birthday The sun leaps from its Eastern border A big bright globe of orange light Its rays warms the earth From a tree afar off, birds take flight The melody of their chirpings serenades the morning atmoshpere The trees dance a series of perfectly choreographed steps The morning wind blows the trees in a restless display of natures perfection Inside the hut, 5 women gather around another woman This one groans and screams in pains of labour Outside the hut, a man paces to and fro His thoughts scattered and uncollected As the wind increases, the womans screams become louder The others urge her to keep pushing Upon a sudden, the wind swishes into silence In that instant, she gives her final push A loud shrieks pierces the still morning The mother heaves and sighs as the baby finally comes out A glimpse of the new born baby she catches Before into a deep, blissful sleep she lapses Its a boy!, the midwife shouts Outside the hut, the man sinks to his knees With his arms outstretched, he tilts his heads towards the heavens Chukuwu dalu!, he shouts Years later, the boy turned man lives An epitome of Gods unique perfection Wisdom he lacks not Understanding, an addition to his many gifts A day with him, your life changes A lesson under him, your world becomes better Youll never find a man so meek Youll never find a friend so true Around him, strength comes to the weak With him, your joy becomes full A carrier of Gods wisdom and power he is A father of many, a friend to hundreds A leader of good character and charismatic aura Words fail us to describe his many desirable qualities Today, he adds a year to his many years And we wish him long life, prosperity, good health and more of God Today, he starts his examinations Today, he begins his conquest Today, he starts to conquer MB and the rest Many look up to him, many seek to take after him Gods grace and excellence rests upon him Divine wisdom and knowledge are his portion As he inks down his answers, he excels already So we say to him: Go out there, put your foot on the gas and go make history. Happy Birthday Pastor Henry Ajah Ekene Your life and destiny is secure in His palms.
