Adeyeye Adeolu

Dear Lord God the almighty who owns all
Grow him feathers to flying higher and not fall
Spark your guiding light
Whenever he is faced fright

Make this day be his first 
Forgive all days sins nursed 
Provide more grace to travel with you 
Through his best and aging blue 

Open his heart to impart more of Your counsels 
Feeding on the richly garnished morsels 
Gospels and guide his feet through sinking sand 
To live the best for all troubles withstand 

Wrap them in mercy 
Mold all in grace 
Usher the lingering hope's controversy 
To shepherd his troubling pace

All these I ask 
Oh Lord for your humble servant
The one that sees praise his task
And go all days so fervent 

Nevertheless, not worthy 
Make him creditworthy 
Truly, he is mortal
In heaven, make him chortle 

Happy birthday, dear friend 
Enjoy your day off worries 
And in music do blend 
Refined and chilled breweries
