I personally am
highly thrilled at the Joy that has entered into the life of my twin brother
God in His infinite
mercy has brought this day to us and we are overwhelmed with love and gratitude
unto The Lord GOD who has destined this day to be. This has been not only the
dream of our parents, but the hope of our parent's parents that we all would be
reunited to our Country, our Heritage and our Home, by Marriage.
You see, Growing up
as Nigerian Americans,
My siblings and I didn't have much culture to boast of
My siblings and I didn't have much culture to boast of
But my twin brother
and I had one thing.
There was one
Ancient story that we loved to share
A story that gave
us pride and always took us to our roots
It is the tale of
two beings living In one womb
One older and
wiser,
The other naive and
adventurous
The older said to
his pair
"Go out yonder
into this world unknown
Go and take a
taste for me
And return to give
a full report"
And so it was Ti
Aye Wo, left the Safe Haven of her mother's womb
To take a taste of
the world
She left for the
World,
But she did not
return as instructed
So her Twain, the
older and wiser became concerned
For he was her
keeper and guide
He could not bear
the mere 3 minutes apart
So the wise one
Kehinde followed after her
He came out of
Necessity
He was a Surprise
For those expecting
1 babe
Received the sudden
News of 2!!!!
On the Birth of a
New Year 1981
He was a Surprise
But He came out of
necessity
He had to Guide
& Protect
Isn't it true
today?
That he has
been the Older and Wiser all along?
While Ti Aye Wo,
the adventurous, still the younger and naive?
He came to guide
& protect
But today His role
has expanded
As he has received
his lovely Bride
Leaving both Father
& Mother content
He has cleaved unto
His wife
But what about his
first assigned?
If you know Kehinde,
you know he could never forget her!
For he provided her
with a sister, a Confidante, a Friend
To her he has given
a Twin Sister to love and care
So Kehinde, I
finally free you to graduate to your Honorary role--Egbon!
From my husband my
children and I
Who you have
embraced securely as your very own
Congratulations!
Welcome to the
World
