A Flower Of Africa

I was born innocent with a weak heart,
Being carried by the most strongest flower.
I felt warmth around this flower,
Well it is true that children lose their innocence as they
Grow older,
But because of my beautiful flower,
Flower of Africa,
I am still an innocent young girl,
I grew up with a smile occupying all the space
In my round face.
The flower watering its innocent creature
And blossoming brightly infront of all the flowers,
Flowers of Africa.

Happiness is shining in my eyes like the sun
In a cloudless sky.
I can feel my heart pounding in my chest,
I am as blind as a bat,
I can't see other things in this world
Except this flower.
I cherish this flower,
A flower appearing as the most strongest infront
Of all the beautiful flowers,
Flowers of Africa.

Mother you are my beautiful flower,
A blessing in disguise,
Without hesitation you are essential for all.
You fill my life with love,
You fill my life with joy and laughter,
You are a link to my past
And a bridge to my future.
You accepted me,
You supported my present
And you encourage my future.

There were moments were i wanted to throw a towel
But you gave me a reason why i started from the beginning.
You told me it was not over.
You are not just my flower
But you are the flower that gave me hope,
A flower that made me to strive for progress and unity
Instead of perfection.

People believe that flowers are not constant,
They say your beauty changes and it is replaced
By seasons,
Yes! this flower is not perfect,
Yes! It changes but with contemplation every change in it
Brings joy in my heart because it changes for better.

You changed my completely
And now i am a proud young girl.
You are the compass that guide me,
An inspiration to reach great heights,
A life jacket in the stormy of life,
The only rock i know that stays steady,
My institution,
You are my hidden treasure,
I seek you and enjoy your riches.
My beautiful flower,
Flower of Africa.
