As the sun sinks slowly: reluctant to leave the day
A myriad of stars twinkle: showing night the way
Elephants have crossed the twilight like ships in silhoutted shadows
Oozing with personality: goodwill flows
The hush of evening: solace in the silence
Moonbeams peeking: shining with compliance
A whispering wind flirts with the starlit sky
Capturing harmony: pulse of wilderness and contented sighs
Peace like a seed needs nourishment to expand and grow
Nuance of brilliance: a warm-hearted glow
With the passing of night: first rays of dawn
Gilt-edged horizon stitches a new morn
Hope for humanity as sunlight fills the day
A radiant reflection chasing corruption and greed away
Our magnificent wildlife, again free to roam
In this magical bush that I call home
We will unite: wildlife on the land
Winds of peace blowing: footprints on the sand
Measuring our civilized behaviour by the depth of our compassion
Africa now blessed with riches and passion
