Life In a Fijian Village

Life in a Fijian village
No worries, no rush
No murmuring no fuss
Live in the village to relax
Live in the village to enjoy to the max

Life in the village can also be hard
Slippery roads and boggy yard
There aren't many shops around
Sometimes transport is hard to be found

When it rains it really pours
There is no weather protection on the horse
And the river floods and no way to get out of course
Trees fall and get carried away by the force

However, laughter can always be heard
Whether the people are hungry or fed 
Bananas and pawpaws to make the heart glad
Always optimistic even if the situation is bad

Living in a village is fun
No more schedules, no more eating on the run
Start work with the rising of the sun
And Enjoy a siesta when the job is done

Waking in the morning in a fresh mood
Eating daily fresh and good food
Meeting smiling people who are not rude
Having a swim in the dark whilst nude

How I love the village life
Away from the cities with all its strife
Wandering around fearlessly without a gun or knife
Away from the cities where crime is rife 

Come and enjoy living in the village with me
You've read the poem and now come and see
As I am happy you will also happy be
Come and enjoy living in the village with me

You’ve totally brought me back to the village right here. Oh how I’ve missed everything about the the islands. I will be back soon for good. The island’s root in me will never be rooted anywhere long but returns to its own root’s mother. Beautiful poem, which I totally enjoyed from start to finish :)
