Be prepared to prepare a hope
For a future with a wide scope
To hold strongly to dream of life
Before you sleep with little strife.
...
I wish to God that my dreams become true
And pray earnestly to lead a life pure
So that from me you may learn how so sure
Candour is all of life’s ailment’s sole cure.
...
Confidence is like the calabash
For drinking water and storing wine
And like the calabash
Confidence is refined
...
I wonder in this crowded dark
And wonder why true love should lack
The flare of fortune to incite
Favour in dreams to flush delight
...
Every journey is a story
Every story tells in journey
Every journey weaves for story
Every story leaves in journey.
