GRACE TO GRASS
"Life isn't fair neither is it a bed of roses" remember laughing with Femi regarding this advice made by his mum to him.The son of a rich oil tycoon,non-chalant Femi who wouldn't take his studies serious always had all he wanted on a platter of gold.Born with a silver spoon,Femi never had a taste of the other side of life until the sudden death of his father.A death his uncles took advantage of to claim everything and left him with nothing.Like what most people would say"from grace to grass"was his story,falling from the son of a rich oil tycoon to a school drop out with nothing to fall back on.with tears running down my cheek,I regret not being a good friend to femi by advicing him but anyway this is life and it can never be predicted,we only have to take it as we see it.
