A Miracle Coin: A Ghanaian Story Of Hope and Happiness

-


 I can still clearly recall how I misplaced my GHP 50. On my way to school one morning, I realized I had misplaced the 50GHP coin that was supposed to be  my "chop money" for the day. I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find the money. I was sobbing uncontrollably, and I was also incredibly depressed and hungry. 


A kind-hearted woman spotted me crying and inquired as I proceeded to go down the street. She expressed sympathy for me after hearing my sad experience. She then gave me a GHP50 coin to help me get some food for the day, I quickly kept it in my pocket. I was overjoyed and overwhelmed with gratitude, so I thanked the woman and rushed to school.



My classmates, on the other hand, were already in class when I arrived at school, and the teacher was whipping those who came late that day. I waited in line for the flogging as I joined the queue. As the teacher was about to whip me in the palm, i opened my palm and the lost 50GHP coin was there. 


I was overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement. I came to the conclusion that finding my lost money was a miracle. Even the excitement of finding the money rendered the lashing painless. I realized then to always have hope in the face of hardship and to be more careful with my money.

Whispers of the Night Watch

When darkness falls and shadows creep, My watch begins, a vigil to keep. I gaze upon the stars, so bright and grand, But one by one, they slip from my hand. The moon, a beacon in the night, I watch her fade, no trace of light. The breeze, it whispers a tender tune, As trees sway, their dance in gloom. The ground, it slumbers, peaceful and deep, While dogs howl, their secrets they keep. I stand alone while others dream, Sleep eludes me, a relentless theme. Is this my fate, a night watch's plight? To wander through darkness, devoid of respite? With a heavy heart, I question my role, A solitary figure, seeking solace for my soul. I'm a guardian of the night, in service I remain, Sacrificing sleep, a solemn vow I sustain. To safeguard the slumber of ordinary souls, In their fearless rest, my purpose gently unfolds.

Chasing Memories

Chasing Memories  In Jannah's embrace, you lie at peace, While I strive to honor you, my love, never cease. Oh, Mommy, it's a challenging path I tread, To survive, your memory kept sacred. Everyone who met you attests to the fact, In your presence, their souls felt intact. How generous you were, your heart so wide, In the depths of your love, many found solace to confide. I feel your absence, a void so deep, Yet, we share a heart, forever it will keep. I'm but a shadow, barely living, As you rest, my heartache, unrelenting. Your heartbeat is still here, never gone, For in mine, its echoes linger on. I can't pretend, grief holds me tight, The world sees my invisible tears every day and night. Oh, how I long for one more chance, To feel your love, to share a last dance. In these words, emotions rise and swell, A poignant tale, a heartache to tell. Invisible tears may flow, and nights may be long, Yet your love in my heart, a forever song. I'll carry your legacy, your
