Reflections in You
As the moon reflects the light of the sun
And the mirror the light in you
So do you reflect the light of life
As the flowers blend their hue
And the birds their voices
So do your smiles my day
And just like Maria, when I am sad
I simply remember my favourite things -
You, your world and our world together
You sound like sweet music
You look like the ever-pretty Cinderella
You bloom with life like the lilies
There exist a double part of you
A firm and assertive heart
And a soft and tender soul
You make yesterday look glorious
Today cherishable
And tomorrow a delight to wait for
You are as beautiful as Calabar
As industrious as Lagos
And as rich as Port Harcourt
Little wonder, they call you 'Annette.'
