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.
Courage Anku
