MRS. DOROTHY OPARE BAIDOO

There are many trees which fall
…when the least winds call
There are many buildings which collapse
…when their foundational time elapse
You’re a mountain
That is why you turned into a captain
…when storms overtook your home
…till you reached your Rome
Ayekoo Ɔbaa

II
You’ve been a soldier on this battlefield of life
You’ve been a great fortress, a great wife in strife!
You’ve been an earth which never quaked
…even when thunders burned your stakes!
You’ve been a you none can’t be
He who travels yonder says
…oyiwaladɔɔn!

III
You’re a beautiful model to your blessed children!
You’re a great leader to your awesome brethren!
You’re one strong soul in a lovely whole!
You’ve been that great goal
…your traveling companion scored
How much can a human be adored?
Sweetness,
…you’re a goddess of goodness!

IV
I celebrate you!
I so celebrate your resilience even when you manned
I celebrate you!
Felicitations on your wins even in your loss!
I hail you!
Even storms can touch no tail on you
For you’ve fought and won
…so many battles difficult even for the armored
I pray you hold onto your victory
…as you grieve
…in order to receive all your blessings
…piled above
