African Sun

The African sun dazzles in the bright blue sky

Breathing life down to a lifeless rock, giving it life

Centers itself on the life of an African man

And brings him to life.

The African sun burns with the zeal of life 

Shines and thrives in the storm

The bright guardian of the day

Punishes with a scorching slap at the back

Yet nurses with the mild rays of daybreak.

The African sun gets attitude when she ask for gratitude

Lamentations when she desire praise

Yet you flee to the shade in her wrath

For even in her wrath,

The African sun can't harm her own.

The African sun spanks and lead her child

Feed her child with the succulent breast of her love

Expanding the mind of the child

And let's the child play under the mild touch of your divine rays

I owe you, my African sun

Appreciate for your perseverance

Understanding for your sacrifice

Patience to walk with you in your days of old

Reparations for every drop of your lovely juice

And love for you are my love.
