Happy days

I have worn wigs for a long time

arrived on time but yet there  is a queue

 

but beauty is in the eye of the beholder

take care of you or no one else would

 

be Confident in whatever you choose to be

let no one steal your confidence

 

be joyful and appreciate life

as life could be taken just like that

 

be honest with your self as lies take you no where

you get found out in the end so why not be honest

 

be Polite and enjoy the respect we learnt

as children growing up in the suburbs of Lagos

 

Stop being manipulative as there is a reason for this behaviour

the true reason would be revealed in the end

happy days don’t last forever as the memory of someone you love could fade-in minutes
