Home Poem by Timothy Ogunsakin

You caress on me like a mother lulling her child
Your world is sweet and mild
I'm here but
You run in my thought

When I cried, you didn't give a damn
But you pampered me to be man
I was away but longing for your caring
No greener grass has land given
Than the lush on the threshold of Aletu
Odo oro, you're an Aletu
The mother of a mighty ocean
That can never dry but ever function

Odo oro! When I think home
I think you.
