MY FILIAL PIETY

And it behooves on every sincerely thinking filial

To respect whosoever for a day shall be added unto our days

Perhaps as we could strongly adscitate

On the fact that what an experience face saw;

Can never be seeing ordinarily even if takes to air

And so I am a young knave whose mind is free and docile

I could sail above the ocean firth and descend beside of you

Because you have all it takes to be one

Even when nothing really has to add up to anything

I choose to call you mother because I see mother in you

You are like a god of whom our filial piety is due to

And also like one of the sibylline whom we need to decide on us

In fact you are all we live to remember by the words, encouragement?

Love from kelechi to you Ma Norway

You are a great woman

I DEDICATE THIS PIECE TO MA ' ANN HARVEY.

A lovely tribute to Ann

I know she will enjoy it, Kelechi. Kelsey "In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me." -Edgar Allan Poe

adscitate

Ann of Norway I wonder what this means, I think you shouldn't use words too difficult for us to understand it gives no extra prestige to see difficult words when you do not master the language yet so well, stay simple is the way I feel, I only use the words I have learnt to understand, unless of course I am producing so called "Nonsense poetry" that too has its place, but this is no nonsense poem, quite the opposite it is serious and kind and well not often on gets a poem from a total stranger, I am flattered you wrote this for me Kelechi, and I thank you for doing so. Yours from Ma Ann You see I am honest with my comments! Only just read this quote above, after I had written mine:- “In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.” -Edgar Allan Poe
