By Deborah Uzoma.

Mama Joan,
One of the finest beings
GSF blessed me with

Ebony black
Tall, slender
Beautiful.
Youthful.
Godly to the core.
Descendant of Levites.
Shepherd,
Wife,
Mother,
Scholar,
Born leader
An unrivalled eagle.

Happy birthday,
Plunge into your greater season of expansion
Of exponential growth.

Congratulations!
