B a B A

There are few heros in my life
Baba Kauro is top of the ladder
You are the Uncle turned father in the 
  African setting
You were the father I sought for and found solace 
  in
You inspired me in ways my dad never did
You believed in me when my dad had doubts
Your trust and encouragement were the fuel and energy that fired me up
It's been 33 years that you left, but your legacies and impact is still traceable
I wish you and your brother my dad were here to see your children, nieces and nephews
The motivation and inspiration has paid off.
I am eternally grateful to you both.
