MOTHER AFRICA

I am the cradle where humanity was born
I feel the warmth of topical rain forests
and the cool breeze
of Mediterranean plains.

One by one they nibbled at my nipples
tugging at their thick, silky, beautiful dark hairs with their tiny legs raised
a great blessing I must say

My children are different
With personalities rich and a resilient hand we've faced the tides and still our spirit remains, unbroken and wide

I watched them from cradle
When they let out their first cry as they learned to creep and took their first steps,
I held my breath in awe

I am mother Africa
I have seen children of generations
of humanity past and the
promise of a brighter tomorrow
