The Dignity of Vision 

On The 49^th Independence Celebration 

of The Republic Of Ghana March 4^th 2006.   

By Rev P E Adotey Addo

To Ghana our hearts and souls belong, our dreams of old and new.

Your sacred grounds receiving our libations as you did our mothers and fathers.

Hopes never faltering while heeding the wisdom of the ancients.

The sacred drums will   beat as we feed from our mothers’ breasts

While our fathers nurture   our visions old and new   against all odds.

With perseverance, trust, honesty, keen foresight and compassion

We pledge our commitment to a prosperous and brighter future.

So watch over our tomorrows until you claim us back again

Lest we forget, lest we perish.
