A Special Birthday Gift To Me Titled: The Beginning Of An End by Gentlebabs(m): 1:52pm On Jan 22, 2018
Rising above lucid clouds
With swaggers that depicts class
I watched the Birds sing lullabys
In reverence to The Master Creator

Ever seen a Gladiator?
And the surprise of a second chance
On a journey that leads to Valhalla
The abode of the Odin god
As everybody gets a second shot

From insemnation to conception
A Gazelle must outrun Masters of the game
To survive a world of uncertainty
But run it must, else tragedy looms

On a day like this
In a beautiful francophone city in Western Africa
The world stopped
As from a saintly vessel
A Writer was born

The sun quickly faded away
As the moon basked in its glory
To unveil the offspring of an Academia
A true man of love and valour
On that day, "Omo Baba Raimi" was born

Clad in a toga of thanksgiving
Hands lifted in appreciation
To the One and Only True God
I "rababa" to reverence His awesomeness
Without Whom, i would have been history

For the grace of restitution
Priviledge of service
Selflessness to humanity
And a 'morrow filled with opportunities
I bow to your His Majestic awesomeness

On this very special day
I cannot but pledge
As "Eledumare" liveth
To live for humanity
Until i draw my last breath
That i be welcomed as a faithful servant

This pledge i make
On my honour as a Boy Scout
With my pens of gold
And points of diamond
Witnessed by the Angels
So help me God.

Babatunde Raimi (January 22, 2018)

I wish the Moderator can push this to front page as a birthday gift to a dedicated Nairalander.

Happy birthday to me.
