My Dearest Brother,
This poem is very touching and meaningful, and by the grace of the lord God will guide our beloved country. With prayers and good intentions, courage and determinations for the development of our motherland God will save and protect us from all evil. May God Bless Us All and May God Bless The Gambia.
Always Much Respect
