A VIRTUOUS WOMAN Just like a pearl amongst stones She can be picked out among women So beautiful and precious She's faithful and priceless For her price is far above rubies Oh, what a virtuous woman! Strength and honour clothe her She's so creative Providing businesses that are lucrative She engages in business Thereby neglecting idleness Indeed, she's a joy to her family A pride to her husband A blessing to all And a gift to her world ...Prov 31  (Dedicated to all women who uphold the virtues of womanhood)                       Alice Asuquo

At morning The cock crew Announcing a new day Time to wake Time to learn Time to grow In a twinkle of an eye The afternoon came by The sun shone brightly Time to work Time to earn Time to put learning into practice Tick tock went the clock And the night showed up Oh night! A time to rest And time to reap What have I achieved? I asked myself The light of the sun, moon and stars Are all gone dim before my eyes What a seasonal change! My once strong arms are trembling My legs are now weak My teeth are now few Even the sounds i used to enjoy I hear them no more My hair has turned white Like almond blossoms Oh! i'm soon going to my final resting place But rejoice thou young man You are yet in your morning season Be strong, learn and work For the night cometh When no man can work Alice Asuquo
