(Today, the nanty greens team celebrate with Sylvia Agamah on her birthday. This poem is written by her as she reflects on life.)
This I know
Not so long ago
Met I a butterfly
Beautifully perched on my window glass
Brought to eye a tear I dry
Every waking moment
Was time spent with my friend
The butterfly of morning light
Colours of great interest
So fragile; so magnificent
Enchanted butterfly!
What stories you tell
On your rainbow wings –
A crawly caterpillar
To a stagnant pupa
Now an aerodynamic spell
Your flutters; gust of life
You are me –
A reflection of change
