HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. RICHARD TIA





A smile on the sun’s face
The day she states her case
The much awaited moment
Where there exists no torment

For on this day, fire showeth remorse
Burns wouldn’t be her just cause
Fire robes in a servant’s apparel
And poses on the cake’s candle

We have journeyed for 365 days
Ignoring all other nights and days
Just to wish you a happy birthday
On this momentous and special day

TIA this is Africa
TIA a mighty son of Africa
World changers are but a handful
And gladly you stand out of the few


A toast to all of Shawn Montgomery
Who lit the fire for which we make merry
To Lateef, Kabila and Adei
Who inspired you to dare

To the man, Mr. Mathias
Who for your education, would join the martyrs
And to the mother somewhere we don’t know
Who carved you into what we now know
 


And so with one accord with sing
Of the tidings birthdays bring
Praying and wishing you a longer life
Devoid of all discord and strife
