SEEDS OF THE GAMBIA
Beneath crystal clear skies
A beacon of hope lies
Trunks that stand so high
And anchor as time flies.
From its fronds, artifacts of beauty made,
Its trunks forge bridges, strong and staid,
An architecture of nature’s grand design
A testament to resilience, in every line.
Its produce, a rich blessing, pure and sweet
A bounty from roots to leaves, none can compete.
From the roots that delve deep in the earth’s embrace
To the leaves that reach up, in the sun’s warm grace.
Sheltering beneath its shade, life flourishes
In its presence, the spirit nourishes.
A symbol of endurance, through seasons and strife
The palm tree stands, a testament to life.
In every breeze that rustles through its fronds
Echoes of the land, its timeless bonds.
A sentinel of the soil, steadfast and free
The heart and soul of Gambia, the noble palm tree.
