(Why she means so much to me )
It`s a blessing to have a girl child
It`s a double blessing to have a girl child as a first child
It`s a triple blessing to have a girl as a first child and
then have another girl
It`s paradise on earth to have yet another girl child
After the girl who came after the girl who was the first
child
It`s like going to heaven without dying to have yet another
girl after that latest girl
It`s like having meal in God`s dining room to add yet
another girl to all of those
But`s like chatting
with God in his bedroom to have not just one boy
But an equal number of boys.
Yet it all started with that one girl who opened the way
She is the trailblazer
The pioneer
The curtain raiser
The pacesetter
The pacemaker
The trendsetter
The leading light
The leader
The first among equals.
That first girl is Azi Azonga
Her mother calls her “mother”
She bears my mother`s name, “Azi”
Where did such a gift
Such a pearl
Such a treasure
Such an endowment
Such an award
Such a jewel
Such a gem
Such a treasure
Come from?
What do I say for the great woman
The mother who conceived her
Who carried her in her womb
Who raised her
To her be the praise!
And to God be thje glory!
Azi, today is your birthday
Happy birthday!
