A PLATINUM ODE

A PLATINUM ODE 

Agoo!! Agoo!! Shhh!! Shhh!! 

What is this that I hear? What is this that I feel? 

I can sense excitement in the air. 

There is music and merry making

They chatter away with joyous voices

In my curiosity I drew near

Behold, there stood the seat of knowledge 

Odomankoma’s own Suapon KNUST 

A city within a city, built on the land of the Ashanti Kingdom of Ghana

As I drew nearer, I could hear voices

The whispers were that of praise

Praise for a mother. 

Praise for the mighty oak 

The tree whose branches know no bounds

And offers shelter to all and sundry

From the North to the South

Continued from the East to the West

Across the continent and beyond the seas

They have all come, 

Gathered together to celebrate her goodness

They recounted of her many exploits

That she just turned 3 scores and 10. 

The bearer of bearers has chalked 70 years  

The citadel of wisdom has aged

Has aged graciously in admiration

She is supple and fresh and has not lost her charm

The mother hen that nurtures many still has a mission

The bearer of nation bearers has not lost her passion 

Your influence on your generation is immeasurable

I see it in your many offspring and how well placed they are in society

Sowing seeds in their various fields of endeavor

I know of the offspring from your first born, artists and technologists.

Of your other offspring have emerged teachers and innovators 

I am very much aware of the entrepreneurs and the socialites

I have been told of the scientists and engineers and all the other professionals birthed 

And the excellence they portray everywhere they go

Though you have attained the creators prescribed old age,

I know, yes I know that you are not done with us  

That you will remain fertile forever, 

That you would continue to conceive nation builders 

That being the sage you are, your exploits will continue to be touted to the ends of the world 

What shall I do in return for your love, what can I say for your immense impact. I can eulogize you for days unending and hail you till the rains come

But there is tomorrow and so must words end at dawn.

I only have this to offer, a token of gratitude, a platinum ode. 

Composed by: Marian Asantewah Nkansah on 22nd October, 2021 in commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of KNUST

AN ODE TO MY DAD ON FATHERS' DAY

" DADA: A FATHER LIKE NO OTHER

You love to spoil but not to get us rotten in virtue 

You chastise but do not break our spirits

You are so strong of  character yet so compassionate 

How can you be so powerful, yet so prayerful 

In your trust in God and reverence we have grown in faith 

Through your stern look we have walked the straight and norrow

Through your heavy voice we are been cautioned about our errors and praised for doing well

You participated fully in our daily care and upbringing as children 

From giving us a bath to dressing us up 

Your nuggets of wisdom through story telling and counsel have been our life's compass

You provided a shelter over our heads and invested in our education 

You inspired us to learn and work hard to make it on our own, rather than wait for an inheritance

Your goal has always been to see your children do well and if possible exceed your achievements

You believe in the adage of standing on the shoulders of giants, and you are that giant 

You are an old school man with a modern day swag

You enjoy the fine things of life including outings and site seeing with your family 

You cook for our Mum and make her hair among other niceties 

We love the way you love our Mum

Your exemplary "husbandhood" sets you apart, and 

You raise the bar of fatherhood  so high, that others look so bad

Your kind is rare, and so,

On this special day, I wish you everything you wish for yourself and more

Health, wealth, contentment, fulfillment, joy and peace in all forms

God )mbless wo plenty for all you have done and continue to do

Happy Fathers' Day Mr. J.B. Nkansah"-Marian Asantewah Nkansah

THERE'S MORE TO LOVE

Beyond the Public Display of Affectionate (PDA) and (Social Media Display of Affection (SMDA)... That helping hand... That reassuring tap on the back... That wink of approval... That grin of contentment... That support for their cause... Being there and present in the moments... Being truthful even when it hurts Being genuinely happy for them and not envious of their progress... Seeing their pain beyond yours and empathising... Supporting their hustle and not only showing up for glory... Selflessly sharing you with them... Not giving them a reason to question why they chose you... ..but conviction to choose you every moment... THAT IS LOVE Learn to love yourself so you will know how to love others Happy Valentine's Day Peeps (MAN)
