Africa  I come from an island near Africa. Where my blood has flown in vanilla,

chocolate and cinnamon.I felt the heat of Africa, the sun’s heat of raging fire.I have touched the rain of Africa, the sweetest sound of thunderstorm.I have seen the girls of Africa, with intelligence and a beauty unimaginable.I have dance the music of Africa, around the fireplace with the beating drums.I have sung the songs of Africa and heard children’s laugher echoing among the trees.I have swam in the most treasured blue lagoon of Africa, where mermaids hides beneath Eden’s rocks.

I have beat the drums of Africa, a rhythm divine for the whole of Africa to hear – “Ek het jou lief Africa! ! ! ! ! ” – I love you Africa.I have seen the passion of Africa, in man’s eyes blue, green and brown and black.

I long to go back home, where the drums rhythm so divine, and I will sing along, My home, my land – “ Ek het jou liet Africa! ! ! ! – I love you Africa.
