Okavango Delta The Spirit Of The Kalahari Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I have known you since the day I was born
You greeted me with your exotic fragrance
Clothing me with your magic
I was only a child
I couldn't understand your charm
You gave me your spirit
And blessed me immensely
You are truly magnificent
Your splendour is known the world over
Your charm has attracted millions
To grace your shores and enjoy your hospitality
You are one in a million
Your call is loud and clear
You are the voice of the spirit of the Kalahari
You have enchanted millions of visitors
With your simple spirit
And unsurpassed Love
You are truly the spirit of Africa
The home of peace and tranquillity
The house of diversity
You have nourished life
Giving the much needed life to the poor
You undressed their hunger
And poured your abundance in them
You have cleansed their minds
And healed their bodies
You are a true leader, a magician
And a miracle maker
You created a paradise out of nothing
And assembled a billion beasts
To witness your life-giving ceremony
You created a fantastic niche
For those who call you home
