Mamaga Dewotornyo Agoe I

​

Yes! There is no denying fact that the teeth never

Looks beautiful without the gum

For the teeth is adored by the gum

A proverb the kinsmen and the people have embrace

On a land of rich culture, a land the ancestors have brace

Gbi is a land of the brave

A land of peace and love where you can be safe

For the kings and the Queens always rise to the occasions

Yes of course ‘The Queen’

A mother of all, 

For the people she is keen

Mamaga Agoe Dewotornyo I

Double blessing for the people of Gbi

As the queen has doubled titles of her predecessors 

Mamaga Agoe I and Mamaga Dewotornyo I

Yes, the crown has really sat on a demigoddess

The throne exhibits its beatitude your royal highness

Development is here on the land to shine

Just as the early morning sunshine

A new day has dawn for the underprivileged

For the cock has crow for them to be privileged

From Mamaga the queen everybody will be gaining

Every skill shall undergo training

A dream they always have for vocational institution

Materializing without the headache of the tuition

Yes, the people are the teeth

But who is the gum for the teeth?

Long live the queen for the beauty you give the teeth

A Spiritual Mother

​

A new day has dawn

For the world a son was born

Umm, who would have endeavored n labored

A world Saviour?

A mother of virtue

A mother of humility

Her name Mother Mary

As the hen cuddled around its chicks so does she protect her children.

A virgin of dignity who bears many offsprings like a tree with numerous Fruits

A mother of all, the universal mother

To thee I can't compare another With thee our tears will dry

And never will the world hear our cry

For we have been given a mother of the motherless

By Christ himself the father of the fatherless Ooh beloved sacred mother, who always hear our plea

Forever you shall take our praise.

And you our heart will always embrace.
