    I dream of Africa

    "I DREAM OF AFRICA”

    As I dream of Africa
    My spirit does rejoice
    In terms of happiness
    It is my only choice

    White sand beaches
    Ocean shades of blue
    Such tranquil beauty
    Speak to a heart so true

    The pride of my people
    Runs eternal & so deep
    History of my descendants
    Such love makes me weep

    Rich colors and textures
    Always make me smile
    Answer to life’s questions
    Across the shimmering Nile

    A world unto itself
    A paradise so revealed
    Wealth is not treasure
    But acting what we feel

    A homeland majestic
    Lift our voice in song
    In the arms of Africa
    Is right where I belong

    I cherish you Africa
    Loved before others
    A land rich in name
    With mysteries to discover

    I dream of Africa
    And it speaks to me
    In the arms of Africa
    Is where I long to be

    here in this world's southeastern end, your vibrant words my poet friend is like a song suffice to woo a soul to long for Africa too.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
