Frederick Kwesi Great Agboletey

A Lamp

There is a heart of gold

Shinning bright

Bringing warmth to a cold world

The light it kindles

Lights joy in us

The unfolding unwrapping of sombre moods

Giving over to shared joy-

How in retrospect

I take stock of all the joy you brought

That I misplaced

How often we miss the truest beauty

That under a cover of benign joy

Ready to share and strengthen

Is beguiling in its purity

An expression of appreciation
