My Queen's Birthday.

To Chika Onuigbo on her 18th birthday.

The long expected day is born.
To many it's a day when in 'one' ectasy lays-
Who's come of age to her queenship and throne,
Whose splendour the sun's duty strays,
Like the moon is insipid and stillborn.
Have I but words adoring to the rose
For diamond is a treasure time may dethrone.
Nor could in silver and gold my heart be disclose.
.
.
Happy birthday to you
Many more years and thrill-
Anew' always like a gold.
To thy heart let heaven refill
With joy and gladness to countless fold.
And thy beaming mug ages renew.
.
.
No bound to this thrill will grow
Every blues now is to atone,
For yesterdays; and theirs is the birth of a low.
And yesterdays' beauty today depicts a crone.
.
.
Happy birthday my beautiful queen.
Eaglelike; whose is no moment need to preen.
The sun needs no artificial light to bright.
That might every night do still blight.
But my queen in this crest-
Oh! Beauty has build a permanent nest.

Perfect words and beautiful my friend.
"Happy birthday my beautiful queen.

That might every night do still blight.
But my queen in this crest-
