African Princess

African Princess

“Come here my child.

Come and sit with me under the stars.

Let us make our wishes and send them far.

Let us see the kingdom of our days.

Let us speak of things forgotten.

Let us share and walk across the divide.

Let us whisper of the old stories.

Let us sleep until there is no night.

Let us cry for those who are unable.

Let us be the things we must.

Let us love until we are not able.

And learn to lose the things we must.

Let us fall and see the bottom.

Let us live there in our comfort.

Let us rise and take our places.

Let us enjoy sun shining on our faces.

Let us be embraced by our music.

Let us hand in hand standing,

See the world for its dust and wonder,

Accept how it flows into our eyes,

For you the world is open and breathing

For me it is closing and leaving

But together we are loving and being

And singing our songs no more and no less

You will rise like a true African Princess.”
