Kwasi Kyei Darkwah (KKD), who has been chastised by some Ghanaians for deleting his initial post on social media, to show love and support for his gay son, has celebrated his son, Darkwah Kyei-Darkwah’s birthday showing lots of affection on social media.
On his son’s birthday few days ago, KKD wrote on Instagram:
HAPPY 24 to my dearly beloved son
May the years ahead be great and good fun
May you live in peace and prosperity
In wisdom, good health, wealth and beauty
Stand up for yourself and those you love
And those who stand with you when life is rough
Do the best you can every day you live
Receive with a good heart and make sure to give
Life is a journey of win and lose
High and low, tight places and loose
When family walks a path not yours to choose
Never flee and leave them to abuse
From.the likes that murdered Captain Mahama
In the land of Denkyira Obuasi in Ghana
Speak for the meek, the weak and persecuted
In such voice is true worth and dignity rooted
I know nothing but the way of a devoted father
Protector, provider, nurturer and mentor
Know for sure too which way is yours
And stand by your truth in fair and foul weather
Believe in yourself, make sure to bring
Honesty, loyalty and beauty to sing
Your praises to God and love your family
Earn in honesty and give cheerfully to charity
You are who you are because you think
Not act in anger nor power of smoke nor drink
Live your ife for no commoners’ applause
Courteous, helpful never hateful nor coarse
Life is real and longer than we oft think
Hold in heart, cast in gold or print this in ink
Family ties are to be honoured forever
Come what may, family stays stronger together
For if love is true there is always help
And a rescue to come each time we yelp
Fathers, mothers, siblings, sons and daughters
Must live for each other, not merely for self
Who matters more to you, your family or the crowd
Who do you adore, your blood or gnashing hound
Better to be true to God, family and you
Than pretend to be nice, and fake for a hateful crew
My children are my blood, I’ll never neglect
I pledged to my God, what do you expect?”
My duty to admonish and make you strong
And scold you when any of you do wrong
Is understood too that one day you’ll grow
And then you’ll each choose your own way to go
The bow does not chase after the arrow
It stands strong and prays for the farthest it can flow
God bless you my Son Darkwah Kyei Darkwah
May you be happy now and forever.
