Comrade Yusuf Cornelius Otijenu pens his birthday wishes in poetic form.
“They said blood is ticker than water, and I said my love for you is thicker than blood.
We are not only related by blood, it is Soul2Soul.
You grow to learn how to avoid my dislikes, the same ways I was born to dislike all that worries you.
I’m not a warrior, but I can’t lose if it worries you.
I’m not all you have, but we are all we have.
Your fearless and doubtless lean on me, even in my weakness, strengthened me to success.
Even if we can’t make it together, whoever makes it; we are still together.
We might not live forever, but I can’t love you less forever.
You desire to be like me, but unlike me; you’re stronger, better, and taller.
The crowd had claimed the earth, let make the sky our starting point.
Grow wiser in good health and in wealth as you keep advancing in age. Souly love, my dearest brother.”
Signed;
Comrade Yusuf Cornelius Otijenu.
