Poem
Trade wind! Bring me back in the days I was as small as a seed Glimmering and growing under glass I feel nostalgic for those days When time was countless Oh God of heavens! I wish those days they didn’t stop Because every single one was a holiday Bringing with it its share of surprises I was like an astronaut in orbit Defying the laws of gravity I was as light as a leaf Carried along by the wind I was pure and innocent I was carefree and dreamy I was green and yellow When I think about those moments They make me recall my days in All the cities I’ve settled down Each of them nurtured me And gave shape to who I am Amazed by the nature and inspired by the culture of Sédhiou Oh Sédhiou! The green and the calm You have been my first contact with nature And I still smell the scent of the grass after the rain I still remember the songs you taught me And I took them with me to Nioro Nioro the historical! I have been fascinated by your history You have been my first classroom For you taught me my first syllables And I have been lulled by your “Ngoyane” songs I have been blessed by God For He gave me the opportunity To experience wonderful things In heavenly places And each of them is nesting In a particular corner inside of my heart Representing the secret wonderland Where I go back whenever I miss my dear childhood
