“Hearty Garlands” by S.O.H. Afriyie-Vidza is a thirty-five-line poem that celebrates the life, accomplishments, and wisdom of an individual who has reached the age of eighty-five. The way the celebrant is celebrated in the poem is a testament to the premium value most parts of Africa and elsewhere in the world have placed on aging for centuries. Old people are revered for their age which is an evidence of their wealth of experience, wisdom, and accomplishments.
