CHEERS TO OUR IGBO PALM WINE. Sourced from the tree of her ancestors.
From deep within the forests of Anambra and beyond.
From the ages.
They worked for millenniums until they had made her.
After aeons of refining.
Rare. Pure.
They had finally produced their best drink yet.
Always fresh. Yet aging like the fine wine that she is.
Masterpiece.
Fluid. And graceful in fluidity.
Those she passed by caught a whiff of her and yearned to taste.
Lusting for the intoxication that came with a drink of her.
But only few had tasted.
Only few had experienced the intoxication of her presence.
Of her kindness. Her intellect. Her laughter. Of her love.
We rise, we fortunate few, on the day she was born to say cheers to our Igbo Palm Wine.
She will live forever in our hearts. Even when she ages no more.
Happy Birthday Okwukwe. Our Igbo Palm wine.
Live forever.
-Baantu
