Life holds more beautiful surprises than we can experience in a lifetime.
One of mine happened on the day I met my wife. Everything I did before I saw her on that day pales in my memory. Time seemed to have waited that day till the moment I saw her.
I strolled back into my grandma’s house after an outing with my cousins, in the usual way I walk into my grandma’s house – without a care in the world, and then I casually glanced at those being entertained and I caught a glimpse of her. I just stopped on my tracks, turned around and went to take a seat. It was a pull that till today, I do not fully understand. I can remember everything that happened during the few minutes I sat down trying not to stare. I can remember the barrage of questions my cousins had to endure immediately she left, because I wanted to know everything about her.
I started writing her poetry in text messages, yes, poetry was birthed in me. She seemed to like them, I later found out she loved them. She still did not know my name, and so she saved my number as “My Poet”. We did not have a face-to-face discussion until almost a year after I first saw her, just exchange of messages and calls. I remember those days fondly. They helped me fly across some rough patches in our journey.
Happy Birthday to my girl. The one that continues to pull me to a place of love, joy and possibilities.
For 15 years, she has been the reason I start and end my day with a smile.
I love you Womy.
