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 :)
