Analysis of Human

Uhunoma Leonard Iyahen 1986 (United States)



I am a gift to life
I am the lift of my wife,
I am tomorrow's hope
I am reasons why days cope,
With different weather's that shows.
I am all to know in order to appreciate love,
I am the image of God above.
I am named man
And I call my ribs woman.
