Poem Title:
Poem
In my mind's eye I see this incredible vision that would make a beautiful African painting. Perhaps I shall try to make it real. I dedicate this poem to the women of Africa. Be inspired by Archangel Ariel who is the Lioness of God. English: To my beautiful African lionesses Zulu*: Ezintombini zami ezinhle zase-Afrika Afrikaans*: Aan my pragtige Afrikaanse leeuwyfies Xhosa*: Kwiingonyamakazi zam ezintle zaseAfrika Swahili*: Kwa simba zangu warembo wa Kiafrika Arabic*: ??? ?????? ?????????? ???????? 'iilaa labawaati al'afriqiaat aljamilat French*: A mes belles lionnes d'Afrique Portuguese: Para minhas lindas leoas africanas Yoruba*: Si awon abo kiniun mi l?wa Igbo*: Nye nd? nne m mara mma Hausa*: Zuwa ga kyawawan zakoki na Afirka My beautiful African lionesses By Michelle Morris 17/08/2023 There is a lioness within Every African woman's heart She often has to hide it Lest the Dark ones want its spark But it cannot remain hidden For she will always stand tall Walk with grace and beauty So much courage through it all That lioness is there with her Like her ancestors by her side They give her strength and forebearance To take this life path in her stride All the pain and the sacrifice All the grief and the sorrow It is washed away into the river Only good is there for tomorrow The waters ebb and flow Like our mountain roads towards home We shall build our communities Share our wisdom and our rainbows We are not forgotten, dear ones Africa is the cradle of mankind Our seeds have scattered with the wind To nurture and develop resilient minds For we are humble and gentle We are powerful and mighty The Sun sees our warmth The Moon knows our kindness For we are blessed and guided We share knowledge and history Our empathy and compassion Creates Ubuntu in our region The Angels and Archangels are here They surround us with Light and love For Africa, her time is coming To help us with life on Earth Oh, my beautiful African lionesses Take heart that all your prayers are heard Your tears fall and spring forth new life Throughout Africa and this world © Michelle Morris, 2023
