Living The Hawa Dream: 3 Years On!!!!
If you dream it then you can achieve it
Being Hawa : requires reflection in solitude
Sleep begat dreams
Naps may begat Nightmares
Yet Hawa’s Dream does not come to those who fall asleep
Being Hawa : means to be a celebrant of hard work,
zeal, zest and enthusiasm
Dream Hawa : An ever uplifting feeling for the bleak in spirit
To superintend a cathedral of hope
You must live the Hawa’s dream
In unraveling Dream Hawa
D - daring to be different from the very best.
R – Rock in distress moments
E – Endures all vicissitudes
A- Added value to what already exist
M – Monarch of all that she surveys
This dream needs great vision shared
Precision in attaining the mission
Marching to the music of your time
Comes with the Hawas’ dream
Yet the mission as propelled is always timeless.
Bigotry, ineptitude, narrow minded
Prejudice have no place in Dream Hawa
Fallible thou art Hawa
Yet there is nothing wrong
With Hawa that which is right
Cannot fix
A great relief in living the Hawa’s Dream.
NB: celebrating a woman of immeasurable repute on the occasion of world’s women day.
