My Son

By Gbadamosi Joseph

I Introduce to you my Sun,
the day in my night,
the rose in my farm,
the depth of my heart,
the love of my life.

I Introduce to you my Sun,
a lady of substance,
a lady of virtue,
a lady with a smile,
that brightens any day.

I Introduce to you my Sun,
the pyramid of Egypt,
the statue of liberty,
the silver in the mountains,
the ocean in the desert.

(Smiles) I Introduce to you my Sun,
Her skin glows golden,
Her hair jet black,
Her gait and stance,
Beyond your wildest dreams

I Introduce to you my Sun,
the bone of my bones,
the flesh of my flesh,
the beat of my heart,
the apple of my eyes.

I Introduce to you my Sun,
Stare and Stare if you must,
For by day break tomorrow, you may see her no more
