For those who don't know I also bear Olufemi aside Gabriel Olatunji 'Legend'; I guess that is the reason for the title of her poem. She actually wrote the poem for me. Isn't that sweet? Enjoy and let me know what you think in the comment section below.
Allow my “Olufemiism”
So long ago
He said to me
By the sapling of mango
Mi o nikofe mi
Mo nika sore ni
Well yeah better friends
I laughed and muttered
Ki la tin se bo bi ko se ore naa
Won tigbe se won de o
A comedian in his own way
Most amazing friend anyway
Nothing too small
And nothing too big a give away
The chord gets thicker
Afi bi Oluwa se femi
He gave me a friend
Inspiration pride creativity describes my friend
Olufemi the Angel just like Gabriel
Every day, every year, getting stronger
Irrespective of distance
One among a number
Lucky perfect number seven
This poem was is dedicated to Gabriel Olufemi Olatunji 'Legend' a.k.a OlatunjiSpeaks/Man G
