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.
