Loving Africa

Africa is the extreme nirvana of the world
She gives us beauty in the form of beasts
And joyful children whom we see on no other continents
Lions, giraffes and hippopotamus to name a few

Africa is a proud woman. She lives her truth.
She makes no apologies for her wildness,
Because it is her strength and her fortitude.
She is a survivor, of typhoid, AIDS and other things

Africa is the ultimate gift to the world.
We cannot go anywhere else and experience this many dialects
This many smiles, this many hands of friendship.
The African nations are unique, and golden; a reflection of love.

Andrea Dietrich January 6, 2021 at 1:12 PM This is a very nice tribute to an amazing continent. It's one I actually got to visit at the north tip when I crossed the Strait of Gibralter. But there was SO much more I could never know. Did you ever get to experience it?
