SMILE FOR ME AFRICA

SMILE FOR ME AFRICA

Born and bred in this land so expanse,
Through the hardships and bliss I grew,
But never have I thought so good another place,
So smile for me Africa; you are my motherland.

Those in the oblivion call you the dark continent,
Tell them how scorching sun we experience daily,
And do not forget about the fierce fireflies at night,

Just smile for me Africa; they are missing out.

All kinds of wildlife roaming everywhere,
Waterfalls and the magical wild beast migration.
And have I mentioned our culture of compassion?
Just smile for me Africa you are definitely divine.

Look at that towering monument from afar,
A symbol of peace and epitome of forgiveness
that is our son Nelson Mandela, an enigma of unity.
Just smile for me Africa; do we need to say more?
