THE SEARCH

Gunner: I was young, but old enough to know the distinction between mediocrity and immortality.

I was old, yet too young to battle with crisis of identity.

Mama always asked me:

Son, are you not tired of your inability to discern the ordinary matters of life?

For how long will it take you to achieve the plausible images of your mental perfection?

Then I rose, I through thick and thins, with battered feet in thorns

Into the world in search of the ideal.

FREEDOM

Legacy: A time comes

When we feel empty and lost

And the soul of man longs for its source

To mend the bridge

No longer sitting on the fence

No longer on the other side

No longer torn between vanity and mammon

It is at this time that

The ideal professional longs for freedom.

CHIEF EVANGELIST

Gunner: I planted a seed, not so long ago

I prayed and prayed for it to grow.

I fed it the Good News, so it would flourish

I encouraged it daily to keep it nourished.

For His word is with clarity,

Go into the world and make disciples of all nations

Telling them that an ideal professional is a sensitive evangelist.

THE SUITOR

Legacy: And the time comes

When we desire to love and be loved

To have that someone whom our heart draws to

Our soul mate, our muse

That someone with whom we would take those vows

And have that feeling that our fairytale has just begun

At this time

The ideal professional should be an ideal suitor.

THE BOND

Gunner:Then I became a witness to their vows

Unto their very bond, my humble soul bow

For she said that the weld of their affection is spelt

L-O-V-E

(L)oveth:

do you remember our season of sparkling roses?

(O)f

intimate places and spaces

(V)al:

you are mine and I am yours

(E)ven

in God's acre cupid found us.

Only then can we realize that an idea professional is a submissive wife.

THE LOVING HUSBAND

Legacy: When life happens and it all seems to fade

The ecstasy of passion and romance drained away

When we become weary of

That familiar scent, that familiar touch

Those familiar words and that familiar face

When all we have left is the stale taste of

Boring routines and obligations

The ideal professional should be an understanding husband.

---

---

THE FAMILY

Gunner: Now the love for two becomes Love for three

A life has began and another has failed

In a bid to salvage the wasted years, the child becomes a victim of imposition and intimidation

Forgetting the very instructions of Ephesians 6 v 4

"Fathers don't not provoke your children"

Forgetting that an ideal professional is indeed a considerate parent.

---

---

THE PROFESSIONAL

Legacy: Yes

When we connect to the source of life, our maker

When we uphold our mandate to preach the word

When there is peace and tranquility in the home

Our Call

The reason for our training and hustle

The essence of our passion

The core of our purpose

Aligns with God's manuscript

And the ideal professional becomes a competent professional.

---

---

KNOWLEDGE OF SELF

Gunner:Then when the world comes to a pause

And the cycle of life becomes a plus

I decided to go home to answer the very question my mother asked me;

Son, are you not tired of your inability to discern the ordinary matters of life?

I smiled, knowing that I have

I spoke knowing that I am ideal

Knowing that we are the ideal professionals!
