ODE: "ABEKEEMI, BIRTHDAY ODE TO VIRTUE, LOVE, AND DIVINE GRACE" BY DR S.A. AYINMODE
Abekeemi, a name redefined by purpose and light,
God-fearing in spirit, steadfast in truth.
Devoted, intelligent, crowned with wisdom,
A keeper of home, adorned in respect and honour.
Adorable in strength, gentle in nurture,
A mother by calling, a virtuous woman by nature.
Hummm......You are grace lived daily, not merely spoken.
Abekeemi, proud daughter of ÃŒjẹ̀ṣà land,
Where dignity walks with quiet confidence.
ÃŒjẹ̀ṣà blood flows with honour and depth,
A people famed for integrity, courage, and poise.
In you, heritage whispers softly yet firmly,
Rooted in culture, crowned with character.
Abekeemi, a seasoned Chartered Accountant per excellence,
Prudent in numbers, wise beyond figures.
Faithful steward of wealth and provision,
Balancing hearts and family treasures with care.
You turn responsibility into blessing,
And vision into enduring legacy.
Abekeemi, embodiment of pure character,
Your love heals quietly; your care sustains fully.
Kindness dwells in your words, compassion in your deeds,
You give yourself wholly, yet remain whole.
In you, love is not duty, but delight.
Abekeemi, patient soul and gentle strength,
Your tolerance shelters flaws with grace.
You have endured me beyond measure, beyond fault,
Choosing peace over pride, understanding over strife.
Your patience is wisdom clothed in humility.
Abekeemi, on this sacred day I lift prayers for you:
May God renew your strength like morning dew.
May favour encircle you, wisdom guide your steps,
May joy abound and sorrow find no dwelling.
May your years be fruitful, your peace unbroken.
Abekeemi, my heart rises in gratitude to God,
For the priceless gift of calling you my wife.
He ordained our union with purpose and mercy,
A covenant written in heaven, lived on earth.
Thank You, Lord, for Abekeemi.
Abekeemi, hear the chorus of love today,
From your Ayodelemi, who treasures you beyond words;
From Ayodamolami and Ayodebolami,
Who celebrate you as mother, guide, and anchor.
We honour you, we cherish you.

Happy Birthday, our Momsie, our crown, our home.
