AUNT ABBY

There are many who have pushed me here
Here, where grace seems near
But I still stand on fear

Ib
There are many who have helped me to here
Here, where looking down is scary
And I can only on this ladder carry

Ic
So I thank you
For holding my hand
And helping me stand
So I thank you
For leading with hope
And helping me cope
Oh I so thank you
For leading with light
And helping me see
Whatever this difficult path holds,
You have cleared many a cold
With your beginning blanket
And I’ll forever cherish this moment
This moment when I feel I have help
Help straight from heaven

For Aunt Abigail Adzoko Quarshie,  one great heart who helped me take a bold step
Even when all hope seems lost. God bless you every day of your life.

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
