Wilfred- “Begleeden- Accompany”
10 October 877
Beloved you are in my eyes
You are a precious gift
A rare jewel that shines
So beautiful and tender
Like a refined metal beaten
Into something more excellent
And gentle and amazing
Enduring cruel reproaches
From family and adversaries
You make each day of your life
A rewarding experience
That others admire you for your wit
And for your tenacious grit
Great are your educational endeavors
And yet you continue to grow
And thrive in speaking and listening
And mastering new skills
That your husband can use
To better his nation and himself
Lifting your eyes up high in supplication to God
To relieve you from the double-dealing ways
Of the world and your relatives
And figuring out a way to
Stand on your own feet
When everything seems to be not going a certain way
Exceptional you are
Exalting your mother is wrong
Ending your relationship with your older relatives is wrong
End of day your choices are up to you
Not up to your parents
Or up to your spouse
Or your spouse’s relatives
Do what you have with what you have
Do not pine for what you do not have
Buy what you can afford
Not what you see
And make your own items yourself
Be self-sufficient and independent as possible
Envelope your family with love
Even if they do not understand you
And why you believe what you believe
Or do what you do
Commit to excellence and honesty
In your relationships
Never lie about anything
Never steal anything from anyone
And never cast doubt on someone else and their intellect.
