A Song: Goodly Women Give Reason to Live
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer’s Foreword
I do not know how to put my composed words into tonic solfa format, but having learnt however remotely how to compose songs using local Yoruba format, I decide to come with a work around on how to make my songs internationally acceptable, therefore, I have been mimicking some hymns which I believe anyone who knows how to sing such hymn globally would be able to sing along with me my composed song using the tune that I have used beneath.
Having said this, I sincerely invite you to join me in singing this newly composed song, because we celebrate women’s day globally, to show how valuable all women are. Since this event has come to stay all over the world, I have come with this short piece of composition to join our spouses, partners, mothers, daughters in showing how vital they are and that God equally counts them to be important in the scheme of things in the world.

The Composed Song
1. Just like a flower she emerges
Even on the branch of the plant
Making the plant’s beauty to behold
To mammals and insects alike
Refrain:
Goodly women give reason to live/3x
Reawakening the lost hope
2. Her goodly scents ‘ttract insects to her
Bringing about pollination
From which fruits even emerge for all
Humans yea animals alike
Refrain
3. She has become a source of income
Through her beauty and ‘ven her scents
Her owner never lacks anything
‘Cause she is always there
Refrain
4. Good seeds she always bringeth forth
To fill the surface of the earth
Her seeds look at her and bless her
‘Cause she has given life to ‘em
Refrain
5. Joy is well written over her face
Beholding her brings happiness
She likes to give hope to hopeless ones
With her there’s no sadness
Refrain
6. The lost could find a way in her eyes
Her words ‘re full of comforting words
The wisdom of God fill her brain
She is full of understanding
Refrain
7. No one can be compared to her
Beautiful, strong and industrious
Lovely, caring and supportive
A rare jewel in the world
Refrain
