Child of Africa

Rise up to salute the sun,

nurture you - nurture the earth,

wilingly surrendering the empowering love

to billions from her blessed nourishing breast.

Stand tall with the anointed sphere

to the sky.

Listen to Sister Wind and feel her

talk to your body with her

soothing powerful gentleness.

Search the high places for your brother

who descends to honor you

with greeting and a word.

Resident in his wings

from high places

sees a far off,

standing watch.......in love.....standing watch.

Child of Africa

the search for the secret knowledge

is an illusion of the infantile and they are many,

like ants to the ant hill, busy being busy.

In your heart, cries your mother

on whom you stand and receive

the love, the juice, the power

that cares for life.

In your heart, cries your sister

who embraces you and bathes you in her nature.

In your heart, cries the brother

who can see afar off, the mystery

is no mystery. Be calm and at peace.

I keep constant vigil that you

and the village be safe.

In you heart, Child of Africa,

the search is not a venture, it is

an adventure within, a way of life

To be experienced;

felt, thought, and shared.

To be experienced;

felt, thought, and shared.

Child of Africa, Behold!

Honor Father with Love. Honor Mother with Love.

Honor Sister with Love. Honor Brother with Love.

Child of Africa

More than all of these,

Honor yourself,

with love!
