Poem 7: Election

*Written to celebrate Ghana's Election 1996

As we prepared for the election
To make our selection
In the midst of trepidation
We turned to God in fervent petition

We prayed in fear
That God should hear
With anxiety we couldn't bear
Prayed that all should be clear

In His mercy God did hear
He being ever so near
He's given us peace in our Nation so dear
Peace as a garment to wear

Thank You Lord we are in forward gear
That we didn't one another tear
That none now is in the rear
Oh THANKS for the election year
