USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: A Double Celebration: Happy New Year, TF!!

The Ezi of Babcock, the Adam of Eden

I think you should write more of these poems, for various others, so that we can cumulate your talent into an anthology.

I know you don't drink, but I will drink on your behalf, turning wine into water

Subject: A Double Celebration: Happy New Year, TF!!

I celebrate God's faithfulness 

I celebrate His Sabbath

And I celebrate the birth of a Wise Sage

Born to impart wisdom

And to make affections sweet 

 

I celebrate a great teacher

Whose innumerable accomplishments,

Measured by the successes of many whose lives he's touched

Remain easily unsurpassable 

 

I celebrate an inspiration

Whose life and work provoke strong thoughts for scholarship in its true sense... 

And mentorship, even to generations yet unborn

 

I celebrate Toyin Falola

Whose name resonates for me excellence, hard work, humility, and much more...

A savage AF* who takes great delight in celebrating people, dead or alive, and their achievements...

A breed rare to find

 

Today is indeed remarkable...

It's a double celebration 

I shall do well 

to celebrate well

This rare gem and the new year day on the Sabbath.

 

Happy New Year and joyous birthday, TF!
