Oya,

Seven
years
of
sunshine,
Chimamanda
My
princess,
my
heart,
my
own
star
Today
is
your
day,
let
the
music
play (
Ehen!)
October
tenth,
the
date
is
gold
A
beautiful
story
waiting
to
be
told
Seven
years
ago
you
came
into
my
life
Chased
away
the
shadows
and
the
strife
My
little
girl,
you
are
growing
so
fast
Make
every
moment,
every
memory
last
You
bring
the
laughter,
you
bring
the
glow
Watching
you
shine,
I
love
you
so
Happy
birthday,
Chimamanda,
you
are
my
pride
With
your
mother’
s
love
right
by
your
side
Seven
years
strong,
dancing
through
the
sun
Our
celebration
has
only
just
begun
Chimamanda,
oh,
you
are
the
one
My
darling
girl,
the
best
under
the
sun (
See
gobe,
she’
s
the
baddest!)
Look
at
her
smile,
it
lights
up
the
room
Chasing
away
the
darkest
of
gloom
My
daughter,
my
champion,
my
very
own
light
You
make
everything
look
so
bright
From
your
first
steps
to
the
girl
you
are
now
You
hold
your
head
up,
I
love
it
somehow
Keep
running,
keep
playing,
keep
reaching
high
Under
the
beautiful
Nigerian
sky
Happy
birthday,
Chimamanda,
you
are
my
pride
With
your
mother’
s
love
right
by
your
side
Seven
years
strong,
dancing
through
the
sun
Our
celebration
has
only
just
begun
Chimamanda,
oh,
you
are
the
one
My
darling
girl,
the
best
under
the
sun (
No
dulling!)
Seven
candles
on
your
cake
tonight
Make
a
wish,
darling,
keep
it
bright
May
your
future
be
sweet
as
the
jollof
and
wine
May
you
forever,
forever
shine (
Shey
you
dey
whine
me?
She’
s
a
star!)
