A ribbon
Horizontally emblazoned
Green, Yellow and Red
Around her head,
With a baby sling
Carrying her off spring
Supporting it
With her arm
Borrowing from
Ethiopian cotton costume
Also lending it charm
A white gorgeous lady,
Enjoyed blessing
With her baby
On Timket
Ethiopia’s Epiphany!
Watching
The ribbon
And embroidered
Dress color matching
What a nice thing!
