Africa First Female President

The Clouds opened On October 29, 1938 The map of Africa I saw Rising on the shoulders of Liberia for a great change The emergence of a wonder To this generation She is a magic sword that wins Battles of transformations Endurance and courage Have brought her thus far First woman in Africa To soar above all heights Storms couldn’t stall her vision Her determination opened every Prison situation she experienced Persistence and strong willpower Broke all barriers on success course Her faith she firmly kept alive Iron lady of Africa A pride of women worldwide Her legacy forever will resonant In the heart and mind of Every woman young and old Her star brightens the skies Her cause a right path to follow As birds sing in the air So will her iconic name be sung: President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Africa’s first female president
