Land of vast and sweeping plain, <br />Land of lashing, teeming rain <br />Land of torrid, pulsing heat <br />Land of maize and golden wheat, <br />Glowing sunsets, stunning skies <br />Rosy glows that dazzle eyes <br />Brown skinned babies naked lie <br />Under the blue and cloudless sky <br />Toddlers tumbling, jump, skip, run <br />Playing in the noonday sun <br />Land of war torn strife and fears <br />Land of laughter, life and tears <br />Land that once was home so dear <br />Forever lost, yet ever near <br />Always in my heart and mind <br />Beloved land now left behind<br /><br />Janet Patrikios<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/zimbabwe-4/
