A GREAT ONE
Afolayan Oreoluwa Busola 2007 (Lagos)
What a great mentor,
The grounds were thirsty, drank but you stayed strong,
Little sorrows say by you, but you never entertained them,
You are like a lion,
Your virtues like sands of the shores,
You walked all miles with trials but you never gave up,
Your weakness motivates you to produce more strength,
Oh’ you’re lifted upon all odds,
Therefore your art lies in your concealing virtues,
How noble in reasoning,
Infinite in ideas and inspirations,
Swift in action,
The moan of your doves are in his memorial,-
Glittering through the gloomy grounds,
Your bed of wisdom is beautifully laid,
You have no limits!
