“You Are" — Mama Africa.

A day like this, as tender as it may seem

As beautiful as it looks

As melodious as it sounds

As breathtaking as it feels

Happens to be the day of your birth.


A day you touched down on earth

Touching humanity with your divinity, serenity

And above all your personality

Loquacious as you may seem, leaving us awestruck

With joyful tears of emotion as to what a gem you are.


A beauty to behold and a companion to compel us

To climb higher, to reach further,

And sour greater than we could possibly imagine

Not for self seeking glory but a path for our glory

Because that is your story.


With your strength, you nurture

With your style, you inspire us

With your smile, you calm every raging storm

With your substance, you birth abundance


Your focus, drive, resilience and life epitomizes

the aura of your being interlaced

with a decent sense of humor,

Defines the fabric of who you are.
