Together we change the world

You possess strength which I strive for

I have wisdom which you yearn for

Together we change the world

You want to see the world this way

I pray for it to that same way

Together we change the world

You are the door to the change we want

I am the key to make it a reality

Together we change the world

You motivate me in all ways

I look up to you always

Together we change the world

You are my Olave Baiden Powell

And I your Elsie Ofuatey-Cudjoe

Together we change the world

TRUE FRIENDSHIP

True friends are like pure diamonds

Mined from the deepest part of a Russian mine

Like the purple mat flower of the desert

They are able to withstand tough situations

The love shared among them is strong

Greater than the winds of the desert

True friends adore each other more than

The hate that tries to break them

Their quarrels and squabbles are rough

But it’s the joy of reconciliation that binds them

Together as paper and cellophane tape

They become a beautiful whole

Though they walk as two different entities

I want to be with you, to be your sister

And friend, so I sing with you

“make new friends but keep the old

One is silver and the other is gold

A circle is round, it has no end

That’s how long I want to be your friend”

What is love?...

I cry when the sun comes up each day

and I do same when the bats awake

Tears become the definition of my life

I ask myself “why” and you “how”

How can this thing you exhibit be called pleasant

When the feeling is not guaranteed for long

People tell me it stinks cos it gives the word

Sorry, a worthless meaning

How can you possibly feel this thing that hurts?

And causes pain greater than the joy it brings

How? How can you?

… I don’t get it…

Please help me understand

Just take a look at yourself then

Possess yourself with my sight

Was it good enough for us to be in that bond?

Enjoying the good and juicy times

And sharing the down and quiet times

Someone tell me why it ups and leaves

When so many promises have been made

and it has its strong arms around you

as you reach the acme of commitment

How can you snuggle me nicely?

but you hate me  so intensely?

You left me so soon without saying why

I thought you once loved me

Now I have to live with this reality…
