One Woman's Journey Through Africa

As I pondered my life on a walk through the jungle
I found sweet rest in my wonderful bungle
OH! The sweet joy of wisdom learned in turmoil
As the majestic, great green mamba unfurled
Like a flag of the proud yet humble burly man.




After learning hard lessons from the birds
We went to the place where fish swim in herds.
As I struggled to stay above the big waves of the sea
I ran to the shelter so wet from the rain wouldn't be.
We posed on a log as our picture was taken
We're a pretty handsome family, you're not mistaken.









Tomorrow I will travel to my 2 room house
Before I leave the car, I'll wear a long sleeved blouse.
The flies may try to bite me,
But I will say, "Flies I can take thee."
I will settle in my house under the mosquito net at night
As I ponder the meaning of this great African life.
