Ghana turns 49: Dignity of Vision
By Rev P E Adotey Addo


To Ghana our hearts and souls belong, our dreams of old and new.
Your sacred grounds receiving our libations as you did our mothers and fathers.
Hopes never faltering while heeding the wisdom of the ancients.
The sacred drums will beat as we feed from our mothers’ breasts
While our fathers nurture our visions old and new against all odds.
With perseverance, trust, honesty, keen foresight and compassion
We pledge our commitment to a prosperous and brighter future.
So watch over our tomorrows until you claim us back again
Lest we forget, lest we perish.


Dedicated to The Ghanaian Students @ Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, on the 49th celebration of the Republic of Ghana, March 4, 2006
