Oluwarantimi!
The peace this name commands,
The mental quietude,
As I write this,
Only the whirl of my fan,
The chirping of happy nocturnals pervade my thoughts.
Oluwarantimi; God remembers me!
The tranquillity immeasurable,
The joy unspeakable,
That I am actually engraven in the palm of his hands,

Oluwarantimi!
The peace this name commands!
Imagine the most peaceful scene ever.
A white swan in a still lake,
A duckling beside her mother,
A chick beneath a bigger feather,
A little snake slithering around a pole,
A goldfish in a lonely aquarium,
A newly-hatched gold coloured chick,
A beautiful white stag on a river bank,
A bird gliding through a sunny Friday morning sky,
A cub lying beside her mother,
A puppy playing on the lawn,
A kitten by the fireplace,
A lily in the swamp,
A bright coloured rose among thorns and thistles,
As peace is not the absence of turmoil,
But stillness and assurance even in the thick of it.
