Her name is Esther

 


Her name is Esther 

The star of stars

She’s bronzed in elegance

Enameled in grace. 


Her strength is in her love 

Her grit in her courage 

Her wisdom of a sage 


She’s a warrior 

She’s an angel

A peace bringer 

A light and a bridge between worlds


She’s a first world wonder

In league with the most remarkable of creation

The most resilient of flowers

That draws the bees from yonder


She’s the soft and tough 

A gentle breeze and turbulent wind 

She’s fire and ice 

She’s the queen of hearts

PT 1: Fade and Lele

Image
In the vibrant city of Ogbomoso, there lived a girl whose presence was as captivating as it was unique. Though her stature was petite, she radiated a powerful spirit that belied her small frame. With a soft, melodious voice and words that flowed like a gentle stream, she could charm anyone who crossed her path. Her movements were graceful, almost like a dance, filled with an elegance that seemed to transcend the ordinary. While many might label her as docile, nothing could be further from the truth when it came to her dreams. They soared higher than the tallest buildings in Ogbomoso and crashed with ferocity like the relentless waves at Nazaré. Her aspirations were colossal, their depth hard to comprehend, but she clung to them fiercely. They were her lifeblood, a fierce flame that propelled her forward even when the world felt heavy. In her heart, she knew that as long as she held onto her dreams, she possessed the strength to conquer anything that stood in her way. She met her fellow...

My Friend

Image
My friend  A guardian of my interests In clarity and  uncertainty. A light in the darkness Situations may cast. A shelter in times of hurt Even when the wounds are invisible. A companion with whom I share belly laughs A confidant who has witnessed my tears As they cascade down my face. A soul who comprehends my silence As deeply as my words. A person with whom I can be completely and securely myself. My Friend  One I can trust to tell me the truth   And set me straight  The one who prays with and for me  The one who loves me  And reminds me of what’s truly important in life. My friend Without you Life with all its joy  Will feel incomplete  Life with little sadness  Will be utterly devastating My friend  You're a spice as well as an essence of life. Ifedolapo

Click to listen before reading❤️  Ololufe Mi Owon Lele felt a tight knot of anticipation in his stomach as he returned home after sorting through a mountain of urgent bills with the help of his friend, Prince. The moment he stepped through the door, one name echoed in his mind: Fade. He had promised her a message, and now it was time to follow through. Pulling out his phone, he scrolled through his notes until he found her number. His heart raced as he dialed, but the thrill quickly turned to confusion. Instead of Fade’s familiar voice, he found himself face-to-face with a torrent of Hausa being unleashed by a Mallam on the other end. Shocked, he instantly hung up, his mind racing. Surely, this had to be a mistake. He tried again, but the same fiery voice greeted him. Panic set in. Had Fade accidentally given him the wrong number? Or worse, had she intentionally misled him? "No way," he thought, shaking his head in disbelief. “We were both vibing too well for that.”  Feeling ...
