There was a little boy
A little boy
That once endlessly clung to his mother’s bosom
And sucked voraciously
That little boy
That once shylessly donned under-garments
As adorable regalia
That little boy
That once attributed every passing posh vehicle to himself
In competition with other fledglings
That little boy
That once tread, fed and read
Regardless of what the future held
That little boy
That once had innocent crush
On the beauteous lasses dangling all around him
That little boy
That was nurtured in the veneration of the Lord
And respect of man
That little boy
That was moulded amidst three wonderful sibs
By two adoring begetters
That little boy has mutated into a man
He is a year older today!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, Fadipe Sunday Oluwaseun Olayiwola Joseph
