ADWOA THE POET 2



                                                                  DIVERGENT

Two roads before me
Each I yearn to take
This worry my heart has plagued
The choice I must make

So I draw nigh to the old I know
It’s comfort I have known for days unknown
To ply it’s rugged curves I know
To discover what my heart seeks the most

A final look at the other road I take
New possibilities, l stand to gain
What it holds, I’m yet to see
What if it holds the best for me

Two roads before me
Each I yearn to take
My heart it’s choice has made
The new road I gladly take.

IS THIS GHANA?

      Almost every Ghanaian has at some point in their educational journey written about their country. I recall how passionate we were, trying to find good things to say about Ghana. Even though the only people who were going to read our essays were our teachers, we endeavored to give it our best. We couldn't write about Ghana and exclude this line, "Ghanaians are hospitable". It run through almost all our essays. Indeed during my primary school days, Ghana was a hospitable country.      Ghana was that place where you could sit in a commercial vehicle and struck up a conversation with someone you had just met. Ghana was the place where you could meet someone on the pavement of Accra and start discussing the latest episode of "Storm over paradise". A place where we would rather talk and argue than resort to violence. That was my Ghana.Today I wonder if we can proudly say that line, "Ghanaians are hospitable".      For d...

WHY BLOGGING?

Reading is my life. I find it more exciting than spending a day at the beach{call me a nerd}. Writing on the other hand is my not so favourite. If it's not for marks at school or an entry into my diary, then i probably won't bother writing anything that exceeds five lines. So why did i start a blog? The answer is simple; boredom and OB ABENSER{ Founder of AuntieOboshie then FashionistaGh and Excelsis} I completed my diploma course yesterday.{diploma in communication studies,GIJ} What this means is that i have so much time on my hands but i have nothing to do, absolutely nothing. So my neighbour{Bra Ob} suggested that i do something profitable with my time. He suggested i travel or start a blog.Well with the current condition of my purse, travelling is out of the question. Moreover my over-protective dad will not permit it{i love him ruff}. I will take up travelling some day soon. That will be when my purse is smiling with me.  So here i am, with my own blog. Thanks to my ...

You are stronger than you think.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to babysit an eight weeks old baby. He is so tiny and fragile. And truly, I was afraid I was going to break him, or worse cause him to choke if I didn't lay him down properly. Every minute, I had to ask google a question. How to lay him down properly, how to stop his hiccups, the right amount to feed him. It was the most hectic 5hrs of my life. As I kept on reading, one article ended with, "Babies are stronger than they look." At that point, I turned to look at the baby, I had laid him down on his tummy, as I kept looking at him, I saw him try to push himself up, he started with his legs and kept on kicking. It's nothing extraordinary I know, but I was intrigued by his persistence. He didn't cry, he kept on kicking, until I finally picked him up. What I'm I driving at? Most of us today are like babies. People look at you and call you weak, just because you do not match their self set standards. It could be at work, in school,ev...
