The contestants of the sixty-fourth Annual Miss Universe pageant showcased their talents in some of the gorgeous pageant looks of all time on Sunday, December 13, in Nevada, Las Vegas.

The beautiful ladies performed very well at the show, they also showed off their respective native traditions, cultural dances and other talents as well.

For her talent, Miss Universe Nigeria, Debbie Collins shared her love for poetry. She shared her experience on Instagram saying, “It was incredible performing one of my favorite poems for the first time to my beautiful contestants, and on the Miss Universe stage.”

Here’s the poem she recited:

I am like a rose
Handle with care stuck to bloodied petals
Rich in texture
Soft and delicate
Toughened and scaled by thorns 
I bask in the glory of my twisted beauty
That blinded eyes cannot see

I am like a rose 
Wholesome strength of character
Delicately seasoned with a fragrance so deep
Known to only me
My distinct fragrance 
Created from hardness and love strung together 
Birthed through pain and persecution 
I am like a rose 
Strengthened by life’s tumultuous storms
My courage lies in my ability 
To be beautiful covered in thorns 
I blossom unhindered and unafraid
Feed me
Cater to me
Water me
My fragility is yet strong
