My beautiful country - Seshie Mauriko

Oh, you beautiful country,
country between sea and territory: I love you.
I love you for your rectangular shape,
bordered to the north by Burkina Faso,
to the south by the Atlantic Ocean,
to the east by Benin,
to the west by Ghana.

Seshie Mauriko (born 1996) Togo
