So I woke up
To the warm sun,
The crow of the cock,
And horn from the keke.
When I opened my eyes
I saw the sky blue;
With a dash of white clouds
Here and there.
Just before I stood up
I heard the water carriers,
Pass by with their carts;
Till I heard them no more.
As I awoke from my sleep,
I found out that everything;
Was meant to be for me
If only I’ll open my eyes to it.

“…everything was meant to be for me, if only I’ll open my eyes to it.”
Thank you for this, Chukwudi.
