Ghana My Precious

I am drifting on an ocean full of memories

Memories of yawing mornings after a good night sleep


Memories of a tiring feet after a long stroll


Memories of distant shores and unfamiliar places


Memories of broken hearts yet to heal


Memories of distant planets and stars in transit


Memories of sunrises and golden sunsets


Memories of past encounters and after lives


Memories of my broken life's debris

I am beginning to see clearer now


The wool has been lifted from my eyes


Fear no longer commands me


She only reminds me of the master in me


Tears no longer well in my eyes


Misery no longer accompanies me


I feel somehow reborn


So close the door and let the past pass


For life has been too long waiting

It's strange how forgetful I have become


Time has a funny way of erasing memories


But how refreshing it is


When you're no longer stuck in the past


When you only build to last


When time ticks fast and you with it


When you win and you are in it

When the future calls and you answer


Your bags packed and you are ready to go























Yes I remember you from a long time ago


There you stood amidst the crowd


I was leaving not knowing when I would be back

You said I shouldn't forget to call home


I lost your number but I didn't 4get you


Then again how could I


You are my mother


You are strength


You are my friend


All that I have I bring home to you


To you Ghana my precious
