DARE TO BE DIFFERENT
Another year has come to an end
I look back with regrets
I look back with joy
I realise I am not special
As someone will not see the end of today
It has become too easy for me
To fall into a norm
To do without thinking
To walk, like a pilot will fly a plane
To breathe without a thought of the process
Another year has come to an end
Like an end, a new beginning is next
What will come to an end for me this year
What will be the new beginning
It is so easy to move with the motion
I have decided to dare to be different
To be different
Is to be courageous
Is to be thoughtful
Is to be eventful
I have decided to dare to be different
To be different from the year
Dying, never to be seen again
To be different in the
Year that is a new birth, coming to life
Dare to be different
Stand for who you truly are
Dare to be different
And let them poke fun at you
Shout, abuse and ignore you
The celebrated are not copiers
They have dared to be different
They are true to their beliefs
And leave marks on the sand of eternity
Dare to be different
Dare to be different
Speak up
Dare to be different
Stand up for the voiceless
Dare to be different
And be
Counted
Recognised
Applauded
Marvelled at
Dare to be different
Baba Jide, long time indeed my Dear Brother. U’ve Always been different, Unique & Special. God didn’t make many like U. I Thank God for seeing us thru. 2012. I am looking forward to a prosperous & fulfilling 2013. I must find a way to serve our underserved back home. “Politicians” keep taking our people thru the same old routes that lead to nowhere. I beg, start raising funds (British Pounds Sterling O– laugh just a bit–Oya) . 2013 will be Great for All of us By His Special Grace. Miss U Much.
A o pade layo. Tola !!!
