SPEECHLESS by IBE CHIEMEZIE

Seventeenth October, two thousand and thirteen was the day

A day I felt was just  like every other one.

Although it was my birthday,

the last thing on my mind was celebration.

The original plan was to stay quietly indoors

and make no noise about it at all

But for my friends.

These people their love for me never ends.

They protested,

in fact they revolted.

They said to me, 'Young man, today is not just your birthday,

today is World's Chimex Day! "

On Demand, I stepped out of that closet of mine,

And they gave me a treat of a lifetime.

The deluge of messages I got,

to my eyes brought joyful tears so hard I fought

Some said I was cute , others said I was handsome,

some others said I was much more than awesome

But a tweet from the world famous Kelly Hansome

Made me feel like the biggest and brightest of the stars - the sun.

If love was drugs, I got overdose.

If love was alcohol, I was intoxicated.

If love was water, I got an ocean.

If love was a mountain, I stood on Everest.

Right now I sit back and reminisce,

Giving thanks to the one who's made my life a masterpiece.

The one who's blessed me with joy and bliss

And set my life on the path of increase

He is the King of Kings

The Lord of Lords and The Prince of Peace.

To my boss and mentor-Obyno

To my sister and second mother- Ijelo

To my superstar sibling and confidant- Chiso

This is a word of appreciation from your lil' bro- Emilo

To my God-given parents-Mummy and Daddy,

Nothing is what I am without your support

and the least I can say is, 'God bless you.'

To my cousins, I say 'Thank you.'

God's best gift to man is family,

and to have as part of mine, Sweetdiva and Chidi,

I count myself lucky.

As I drop my pen in the basket of love,

Knowing full well that by God and Man, I am loved,

the word of appreciation I want to give is endless,

But like Michael Jackson, I am SPEECHLESS.
