I'm a pretty bud <br />growing out of the mud, <br />I'm a blessed child - <br />tame and free in mind, <br />I'm a proud African child. <br /> <br />I'm a precious stone, <br />neither am I broken nor torn, <br />A precious stone am I - <br />treasure to the nation's eye, <br />I'm a proud African child. <br /> <br />I'm a star in midnight <br />which gives a spark of light, <br />Like a diamond in the sky <br />I dwell with pride in the high, <br />I'm a proud African child. <br /> <br />I'm the hope for the future, <br />a pure seed of true virtue, <br />A fragrant leaf of uncorrupt nature, <br />A beneficiary of unlimited adventure, <br />I'm a proud African child. <br /> <br />I'm a child of God <br />out of doom and gloom called, <br />I'm more precious than gold <br />and even more special than a goat, <br />I'm really a Proud African Child.<br /><br />Comfort Ndlovu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-a-proud-african-child/
