AFRICAN WOMAN

The dwindling of the trees
The coolness of the breeze
The drizzling of the rain
The leaves flying around freely
Stream flowing endlessly
Children running happily down the street
Supper came in a big round calabash
The children sitting round the evening “Atupa”
To hear stories that plant in them morals.

Inside the next room there is a woman
Holding her child so close
Singing a lullaby to put her to sleep
So much beauty in a woman’s strength
The versatility of an African Woman
The creativity, it’s an uncomparable reality
She rises up above all the problems
Nothing is ever intimidating

African woman is blessed
She is inspired above all the odds
She is hopeful beyond a doubt
Always proud of her identity
You can argue that money rules
But at what cost?
How much is an African woman worth?

Fathers worked hard to feed the children
But thanks to mama
Who taught them the morals to excel
Oh my African woman
Looking radiant as if she never cries
Oh my dear creator
Let us realize everyday
The hope and strength she represents

Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s celebrate
The African woman
The one who makes everything look simple
She can see the future
Through the eyes of an eagle
The one ready to be the best
By any means possible
Lets stand for the power of
An African Woman
