Blessing Awoniyi

I flow

I flow

Like a river

Slowly and steadily

With the drought, I have dined

With rain, I have wined

I have flown into the pond

Of plenty poverty

I have flown into the Atlantic

Of abject abundance                               

I have flown into the dam

Of despair and discovery

I have flown into the lagoon

Of love and laughter

I have flown into the cups

Of kings and queens

I have flown into the sea

Of sacrifice and success

Slowly and steadily

Like a river

I flow
