Who Am I

This is a poem about my motherland Ghana

Born into a land with

Abundance in natural resources

Gold, diamond, cocoa, timber.

Born into a land of brave warriors,

Yaa Asantewaa, Kwame Nkrumah.

Who stood strong amidst

Foreign domination

Born into a land where

Mothers nurture their children

To become better adults

And fathers teach children

Valuable life lessons

Born into

A land where friends

Are like family

And strangers

Are received hospitably

Yes, we suffered from colonization

But that did not kill our pride

Because we yearned to be free

Like the rivers flowing

Into the oceans

And won our freedom

To become a nation

I am from Ghana

The land of the brave

The land of peace

Gye Nyame

Asomgye enwo ho daa
