Grains and pearls

I call it grains and pearls because it reflects everything I am, and everything i will ever be. My riches and worth, My values and wisdom, My voice and thoughts, My dreams and imaginations,  My talents, my everything; poured into one record.  Some people will call it an Album, but I will refer to it as a documentation of my grains and pearls.

It is full of grains and pearls. It will be called 'timeless'. It will appear on Tabloids and Bill boards. It will represent Awura-Ama Agyapong, Ghana, Africa to the universe and generations. It is everything you will ever call music.  📀Grains and pear

Because of this, she didn't mind sharing her tea with me.(She never shares her tea with anyone 😊) She had a habit of taking hot tea with milk every morning, and in the afternoons, then a bowl of fufu with light soup for supper.
