I want to go back

I want to go back I want to go back to Ghana where I can play in the sand When the time had no direction and we had nothing to worry about; it was worth it. Just so you know, the hourglasses had no sand And we would have every reason to gaze in awe of the moon while lying on our back There were times when we did not know how to react to the beats from the band Talk of "we are going; heaven knows where we are going"  a tune from way back Please put the cassette on replay, I want to listen to the Osibisa band. Gosh, I want to go back I want to go back I want to go back to the days I had no worries In my childhood when I could play till dusk When families were always together In one piece, we peacefully gathered around the dancing flames And friends stuck with each other even in the withered storms To those days when grandpa was our hero And the father was hailed by all when he came back from hunting, accompanied by bush meat To those days befo...

Thoughts of a toddler

I am a toddler Nothing I know matters Only my tears, whether crocodile or human, has influence And I will cry my lungs out until my wish is granted  That's their command My heart will passionately be on standby, just in case I need reinforcement At least, it will cleanse my system and keep me healthy I am a toddler with giant steps It will not take long for me to arrive safely into adulthood I can't skip my teenage years either If I get the chance, I will only catch a glimpse of my teen days and return to being a toddler So to my kinsmen, kindly prepare your speeches I can sense only the title has a pleasant feeling The rest are bitter pills but I am not sick too I don't want to choke Please don't proceed with those long speeches about life  I know that when I grow up I'll swallow the pills anyway But I am nurturing my courage  I am making attempts to stand on those tender feet They will be as fit as a fiddle  And that will lead me on I'll ...

Grace abounds

The epitome of Grace and Joy I have hope Though I have nowhere to go or turn towards I know  That Grace has taken away my shame That Grace has rescued me from my famine That Grace has reconciled me with himself That the process is in a continuum  And so May I never complain but plan May I not be tempted to withdraw For Grace is sufficient for me to stand poised May I be still and know that hope grows That I shall rise anytime I fall  Even if all odds are against me I don’t want to be lost May grace help me find home  Knowing that my father’s arms are widespread Ready to embrace me  Peace and love shall bind us Truthfully, I do not deserve but grace came in Only the hills shall I lift up my eyes to If all creation continues to worship, I can’t stop either Let my life reflect your goodness and mercy Though I don’t know how I am going to survive the days ahead Yet, someway somehow, these miracles engulf me I'm s...

Footslog

Life is beautifully designed Crafted with handsome hands It goes on no matter what happens. Interestingly, We laugh at ourselves to the core With tears of Joy We tease each other too Correcting the minor mistakes we'd made Knowing that there's no easy way out “Simple” You inspire me to know how wealthy that means And I don't want to see defeat Because things got complicated and tough But you also believe that conditions aren't permanent That the situations only get better with hard work A walk in the Livingstone Park   Prodigy, Having confidence with complements I see that in your eye all the time I see how tender your heart can be You’re tenacious with a touch of softness Grace I share in your all You radiate wisdom in its glory I'm a catalyst for progress Thus, believing in every step of the way I'll be here  You'll be here too So let's keep marching on in life

Pray

He told me to pray: For i t is good that you pray. You're a child of God. You believe in the goodness of the Lord. Praying helps you to get closer, stay in His presence and love God more. He's got you covered all through your life  And leads you on the path of righteousness  To ensure that all His promises for your life are fulfilled.   Also, it helps you to remember the Lord in the days of your youth  So that when you grow up, you will not regret not knowing him. When I pray every day and read my bible, I will grow.

MEETING POPE FRANCIS: MY ‘CHRISTUS VIVIT’ EXPERIENCE

The Lord is our shepherd and we are blessed to be under His watch. I was a pilgrim to the Vatican City while representing Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) and the Ghana National Catholic Youth Council (GHANCYC) as a delegate at the 11 th International Youth Forum. Like any youth, I am interested in the Church and the love it shares with the various communities around the world. I will share some thoughts and experiences with you. Victor among the delegate during one of the sessions In the month of June 2019, the Universal Church led by the Dicastery of Life, Family and Youth at the Vatican organized the 11 th  International Youth Forum dubbed  “Youth in action in a synodal Church” . This gathered about 250 youths, including 3 Ghanaian delegates, from more than 120 countries in Rome.
