Five shimmering decades of wondrous stardom
Amongst the hearts of the heaven’s kingdom;
Hundreds have heard the healing messages
From our Lord’s messenger of fifty enlightening pages.
Our man of honour has travelled through the lengths and breadths of the earth;
To serve across seas for spiritual rebirth.
You are a multi-talented exemplar for us to aspire;
A truly divine educator who is always a reason to inspire.
Our glittering blaze of brilliance
Celebrates his day of golden significance!
The man of faith.
the man that will never has doubt in his mind;
the man that will be called "saint"
because of his clean heart and kind.
the man of faith.
the man that will always stand on his feet,
the man of hope;
the man that believe he will surely overcome the tempest and always defeat.
the man of faith.
the man that always believe and obey,
the man of meekness;
the man that never wandered and never stray.
the man of faith;
is the man with seal,
the man of honour;
the man that makes imaginations come to real.
Thousand stars hang around his muse;
The mountainous paramount of mankind,
Incredibly a man of honour and grace,
Posterity will be in peace with him
In him lies the hope for youth and men,
He blossoms in the desert,
Reflecting the abundance of mankind
on a Nigerian reservoir.
A father of many who cares to learn,
Nurtured with pregnancy of kindness and love.
With humility, he dines among killing wolves
A teacher, adviser, counsellor, mediator;
An overcomer; more than a survivor.
A voice to the weak and voiceless
His words are pregnant with meanings.
A strong man whose face radiates
An illumination awakening the earth.
One with an awakening voice, a rhythm for the nightingales,
A beautiful face and rays of the morning sun.
Moulded in perfection t9o,
He moves on, boldly taking a stand,
A flexible spine to others stiffened.
Like a lion of Judah, watch his moves
With words of the great solomonians,
He bathes,
We watch his moves,
father to many poets;
Till eternity shall we make him proud.

Oh how I remember him so tall and strong
He showed no fear when facing wrong
So it was no surprise to hear at all
My brother became a man of the law.
A family man devoted too
Took care of his with I love you
And if others were in any need
He’d lift them up till they could lead.
And heard aloud but will never pass
The sound of my brother’s boisterous laugh
And his favourite time he wished could stay
Could only be every Christmas Day.
A man of honour of love and kind
A decent man that walked the line
You could see his strength his mighty will
So that’s my brother his name was Bill.

He became a blessing in my life,
Tall and very handsome,
The answer to my prayers,
I just him met one day,
My knight in shinning armour,
There when I needed him,
We would meet now and then,
i asked God's permission to get to know him,
Friends from a foreign country,
Happily settled now,
With God's permission our friendship continues,
I wish to save my moments with him,
A real gentleman and man of honour,
Writing a romance novel together,
That would be God's destiny.

Am a man of honour
And who asked you?
I thought you were interested in knowing
Why should I?
Look at me?
Have been looking at you
Do you know who I am?
No! Why should I?
Mmmmhhhh!
Do you know me?
No!
Then we neither know each other!!

A man of honour and always a distant memory,
Lives as complex as a James Bond novel,
Fates affected by memory
Dreams delegating a love affair that could never be,
He and she colleagues of learning,
Each writing their scripts in their senior years,
Almost royal and regal conceptually,
Some of us live our dreams,
And some of us are blessed with dreaming.

A man of honour and dignity,
Good looking,
Socially conscious and caring,
Tall and handsome,
Refined and knowledgeable,
Here coincidently,
A story of perfection,
All the while human,
Loving and kind,
A miracle for his beloved maiden,
Together companions of intelligence,
To share a future is God's blessing.
