A poetic tribute to Wiyala

Ms. Amoafowa Sefa Cecilia interviewed Wiyaala on December 17, 2014. Wiyaala’s openness and intelligent, thoughtful responses to her questions inspired her to compose this poem. Ms. Cecilia writes thus:

“This is the poem Noella Wiyaala inspired me to write after the interview.”

And she called the poem “Noella’s Inspiration.”

NOELLA’S INSPIRATION

Bubbly bright and brimming cup

Streaming with a positive vibe

Going on and on and on

Throwing inspirations in the air

She may have a perfect life

But see how her words are filled with strife

Strife to work on and gain more

To eventually be a wife

Noella Wiyaala, babe of babes

Is the good tree which cherishes her roots

Living largely so no one can uproot

Her supporting root which holds her all

Let all take bow under her tree and take seed

She is the one who works to feed

She calls on all to work to feed

And stop being whiners who need to be fed

Never ever give up the fight

Open and go past your hurdles

Emancipate yourselves from poor threads

Love yourself

Lean on good thoughts

And above all, learn the right

Great words from a maestro in the making

I hope you shine on

Living like you should

Impacting lives as always
