Growing On Fertile Ground Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

She is a mighty seedling
Penetrating difficult terrain with ease
Awash with the essence of life
She is forever focused on her prize
She has no time for the forces pulling her down
She holds tight onto her strong determination
Fully aware of her unfolding weaknesses
She has embraced her unwavering spirit
She has accepted her beautiful destiny
And holds her head high
Far above the gushing hatred
She is growing on fertile ground
Nourished by Love and with Love
She has hope in her heart
And a beautiful smile to pave her way
She is the perfect trailblazer
A pioneering spirit
She is destined to be a giant
She is an African girl child
