NANDI OF THE ZULU KINGDOM

A mother is a springboard, strong and sure
From which dreams soar, and spirits roar.  
She launches hearts with boundless grace 
Lighting the path toward life’s embrace.  

Nandi was Shaka Zulu’s springboard  
With eyes as sharp as an eagle's gaze.  
She guided him to rise in might
A lioness who never swayed
Holding steady through day and night.  

Indeed, a mother is a springboard
Lifting hopes to greater heights
Clearing paths with her guiding light 
Like a crane, lifting courage to flight.
