Forever in My Arms
And now one,
In faith and mission,
In purpose and vision,
Come dear, let's walk across this plain.

Forever and in your arms,
Let me flourish.
When I have navigated the rough and
bustling streets of (Port Harcourt),
Let your face and your lips bring me home
And after you've commandeered the garrisons with splendor and such resplendence,
Come home to me once more, my darling.

Let us plant trees and watch them grow,
Let us find the strands of grey in each other's hair,
Let us spot wrinkles in each other's face,
Let us watch our kids find love as we have,

Forever and in my arms,
Let's journey yonder, my querida.
Let us watch the seasons change,
And the Flowers blossom,
Let us watch the trees bare themselves as their leaves fall

Let each mountain be our adventure
Let each valley be a story
Let each storm be our triumph,
Let each desert be our discovery.
For as long as you're with me, every other thing can and shall indeed, pass.

Had we but time, Nkem,
I would take an age to demonstrate my affection for you,
And I promise you Nkem,
That not even the Infinity of eternity,
Is time enough to exhaust my affection for my Lady.
