Patriotism

Patriotism
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

As the rays of the sun fades away
A new form of reality comes of age 
Sparkles of light come alive 	
And fill my bedroom window
It reflects the reality I face everyday
But amazingly I do not face it alone

On every street corner
And every bus stop
We share the same feeling
One word describes it, “Patriotism” 
A sense of loyalty and pride
Pride in a beautiful, peaceful country

Namibia a flower along the streams
Filled with living water
Protected by a powerful Immortal King
A beautiful landscape 
A place where the desert meets the sea
My country, Our country, Namibia                                                   8 May 2012
