The Love

The love I never saw coming
The love that changed me forever
The love that I thank God everyday for
is The love that I wish was here with me.

The love I have for you
The love thats true and real
The love that was sent from heaven
is The love I found in you.

The love that is never broken
The love that will be together
The love that was meant to be
is The love that I have for you.


The love I dreamt of
The love I was happy to have
The love that will never end
is the love you gave to me.

A FICTIONAL story about a young woman living with AIDS

My life from birth

Its been a very tiring day. I always work on my grandfather's farm but I had to also take care of my two younger siblings and clean our hut. My father has been ill all week leaving me as the only person to work and fend for the family. My name is Nyankoponwaa, but everyone calls me Ponwaa and I turned eight last two months. I was born to a poor family in the northern part of Ghana. I have two younger siblings: My younger sister, Akyachiwomaa who is six and my brother,Tenkyachofi who just turned three today. Our mother died after the birth of Chofi leaving us with our father to care for us. Our only possession is a small hut and a small farm not far from our hut, that used to be my mother's father's.

My sister Womaa and I are best friends. She helps me with cleaning the house and we even walk to school together.We wake up at 4am to clean the hut and start walking to school since our school is very far from our house. I like going to school to study, meet new people and make friends. My teachers are very fond of me since I am a good student. Womaa and I haven't been to school in a week because of my dad's illness. I worked harder this week especially today in order to buy a goat for my family. I want us to celebrate Chofi's birthday.

She Loves Him

She loves him more than she loves herself.

Her whole life revolves around him..What she eats, drinks, says, wears, EVERYTHING

He is her world and she wants nothing but to make him happy

His happiness is her happiness

He loves himself more than anything

His whole life revolves around what people think..What he drinks, says, eats, EVERYTHING

She is the companion he wants but for now he is happy

His happiness is HER happiness

They belong together in a twisted world

Where her priority is him..he is her EVERYTHING

A world where they understand each other

A world where only his happiness mattered

His happiness is her happiness

They do not belong in a Fairytale world

Where they live to make themselves happy

A world where they love each other

A world where both their happiness mattered

Her happiness is His happiness too

Don't get it wrong:

He cares about her but she cares about him more

He likes her but she loves him

She is the perfect girl for him but he is her world

Such a bond will survive in a twisted world but not in a fairytale.........

Who am I to say what world they should live in?

A NEW DAY

A new day brings new ideas
New ideas have new reasoning
New reasoning brings new beginning
New begiinnings captures new hope

New hope have new directions
New directions bring positive goals
Positive goals have positive accomplishments
Positive accomplishments bring positive endings

A new day has a fresh start, so let every new day bring you a new hope for a positive change in life.

One of my favorite quotes by Cathy Benko

Life is not fair.
Not everybody starts at the same place or has the same opportunities and support someone else might have.

Don't spend time wondering why you're in the position you're in.
Just get out there and do as well as you can..

A poem- Making life better

I LOOKED UP AND SAW THOSE EYES.
THOSE EYES THAT WANT TO BELIEVE IN LOVE.
LOVING SOMEONE WHO MAY BREAK A HEART.
A HEART THAT IS FRAGILE AND CAN BE HURT EASILY.

I HEARD THE VOICE THAT NEEDED ADVICE.

ADVICE THAT MAY MAKE OR BREAK SOMEONE.
SOMEONE WHO WANTED A CHANCE.
A CHANCE THAT ONLY CAME ONCE.

I FELT AND PLEADED WITH THE MIND.
THE MIND THAT KNEW NO ANSWER.
ANSWERS THAT MAY HELP MAKE LIFE BETTTER.
LIFE BETTER? IT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

THOSE EYES, ADVICE NEEDED AND THE MIND SHOWS HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO TRY AND MAKE LIFE BETTER.
