You carry the fulfilment of our family
Being in and making love together
Nothing last year hinted at this journey
Yet, it was destined forever
A Bini boy serving in Katsina
Cursing his luck for not working his NYSC
An Urhobo princess living not so far
Thanking her lucky stars for a new buddy
Friendship untainted by lust
Love untainted by control
Hearts sprinkled with stardust
Eyes twinkling from a lit-up soul.
I do not know what the next year holds
But I know whose hands I will hold
