The Princess and the Beautiful Road
THE PRINCESS AND THE BEAUTIFUL ROAD
1. The Princess:
A generation ago in the month of October
A first fruit gifted the world a Princess
She was nurtured with the vital ingredients
She grew into a damsel with great prowess
She grazed and dazzled the walkways of Pageants
Her appellation of "the journey road is beautiful"
Is just as truthful as it is wonderful
With her it appears a lifelong voyage to remember
2. The African Scene:
She is a Princess with rich cultural splendour
Akin to the Hispanic angels from Guadalajara
Her panache occupies the desert sands of the Sahara
Up to the grasslands of the Sahel Savannah
Meandering through River Nile and Lake Limpopo
Across the skies from Mount Drakensberg to Kilimanjaro
Adding to her African heritage, morals and honour
She is a panacea for all of mankind's Wahala
3. The Royal Garden:
In the garden of her divine Royalty
Happiness, laughter and joy blossoms
Like a Bird of Paradise, she illuminates the orchards
With fragrance eclipsing Roses, Lotuses and Orchids
A view bettering a Hibiscus, Tulip and a Cherry Blossom
Surpassing the scenery created by Dahlias and Gazanias
She could easily replicate the sight of Utopia
Bringing forth convalesce, empathy and serenity
4. The Significance:
The lyrics of this romance script
Have always been preserved in my manuscripts
Altogether, she portrays my perfect imagination
The shadow of her smile personifies my vivid emotions
She encourages my positive dreams and aspirations
And aligns my templates in best permutations
While helping me to soar above my limitations
In preparation of a lifetime of true love, care and affection.
