HALLELUIAH DIMPLES (For: Enam Juliette Dogbatse, on your birthday.)

Life began in the past

And we stroll through the pavements of memory

To celebrate golden gains of the past

We celebrate the halleluiah dimples

Seated on the cheeks of a mother’s pride

Embodied in the soul of a daughter

We celebrate the silver plate of a face

With a pointed nose and dilating eyes that

Consolidate the creator’s creative powers

We celebrate a life well lived in the past

As we sojourn through the corridors of memory:

The life of Enam, a sister and friend

May those golden doors of tomorrow

Lead to the excellence awaiting

In the realm of the given

From the giver who made you a gift

To so many here and absent

Still united in spirit and soul at your banquet

And may centuries unborn on calendars

Come to celebrate the halleluiah dimples

Creatively crafted in Enam’s pride.
