When All Hope Seems Lost
By: Naa Doodua Doodu At times, when hope seems but a shadow, I lose reason, Looking back on trials endured, I falter, ready to give in. I plead with God, “Take this cup away,” yet whisper still, “Not my will, Lord, but may Your will be fulfilled.” Through suffering and pain, joy feels a distant […]
Echoes of Loss
By: Naa Doodua Doodu O Death, why do you reach for my beloved, Taking my baby, leaving me bereft? You’ve shattered my heart, and my plans undone, Leaving emptiness, where love once dwelled. Your icy grasp snatched away our dreams, Our bond, now broken, in sorrow’s streams. How cruel you are, O Death, to steal, […]
When I broke the silence
By: Don Pax I said what needed to be said today, Simple words but hard to say. The room fell quiet, faces turned away, From truth, they knew but hid each day. Now they whisper around the compound, Point fingers, try to make me fall. But here’s what hurts me most of all, They knew […]
Resilient Grace
By: Naa Doodua Doodu I bow my head in shame, for I have failed them, Locked myself in a prison, crafted in my mind. How do I break free from these shackles that bind, On the verge of collapse, my spirit unaligned. My mental state was in tatters, torn apart, Until he looked at me […]

A Second Chance at Love
By: Naa Doodua Doodu Everything seemed to fall apart, Deception, grief, and pain, The ones I thought loved me turned against me, Stabbed in the back, I decided not to love anymore. I gave my all to give us the best we needed, But all pointed hands at me, mocked me, and despised me. I […]
Dying to New life -A mystery to Unfold
By: Nuoyong For in dying, we are born to eternal life. The expectant mother in the travail of labor, But soon joy at the first breastfed. Who will explain this mystery? The pains of labor, then the smiles of joy. The agony at Gethsemane, the glory at Calvary. Why this extreme feeling of contradictory reality? […]
I Am Because We Are
By: Don Pax Like branches of an ancient tree, Our roots entwined beneath the sea. Of countless stories, lived and shared, Each triumph earned; each burden bared. In your smile, I see my light, Your strength lifts me through the darkest night. My voice grows stronger in our song, In harmony where we belong. A […]
Lost and Found
By: Naa Doodua Doodu I found no love in what I used to do, No meaning is left in the words I write. Everything became bland, devoid of purpose, The joy in expression vanished from sight. I lost my strength when I lost my worth, Felt I wasn’t good enough to be heard. I roamed, […]
