Analysis of POTENTIAL
Ebenezer Ayidana 1995 (Kumasi)
None sweeter a song exists to sing
Than the potential of men, a great thing
Potential hints at the giant you truly are
Of a shining light you live to give like a star
Potential, the unseen had pushing ahead
All the great deeds of men you’ve read
Potential, levelling all as Kings and Queens
Promising royalty while giving us the means
Potential offers a taste of God through legacies
A thing that makes immortals from memories
Potential is the seed of God in men
I pray god lives and not dies. Amen!
