You Are My Pride: A Love Letter from Your Motherland
I am the mother of all humanity I have a long history and a longer memory Most of all I remember you my offspring of all colors in all corners of the earth Let me remind you of our timeless bond
Child I knew you from the first when you were but a glimmer in some god’s heart I held your soulful cells within me before the sun ever kissed your skin before the wind blew breath into your lungs For ages you stirred inside me yearning toward dawn
