We Can'T Change This Choice (Between ‘leke and Linda-Marie)

I’m sure you know… I am a noble Nigerian; Yes, I am happy you are an alluring American. We are two tall trees from two blessed backgrounds Yet we found friendship flowing from golden grounds. We both have sorry stories; I won’t wonder or worry, Because I have your humble history in my dear diary; There is only one thing… I would be sincere to say We have one thing in common; a role to perfectly play. To make the world become big, bright and beautiful, And make the helpless cute, colorful and cheerful, With our rhymes and rhapsodies: our virtuous voice, We can make it happen… we can’t change this choice.

Nice, moving sincere tribute. I read Andrea's tribute to you on her site. You are rather special and more than a face in the crowd, eh? Good luck and best wishes to you, Gerard
