African Sunday

The poem below was written by Sanet, a visitor to ELI Kenya in September 2007.

AFRICAN SUNDAY
Dedicated to the congregation at Empowering Lives International, Kipkaren, Kenya

And we sing
and we dance
and we pray

and we walk from far
and we smell of smoke
and we carry a child

and we sing
and we dance
and we pray

and our eyes see deep
and our shoulders carry broad
and our feet can talk

and we sing
and we dance
and we pray

and we sweat this sweat
and we suffer this Aids
and we know this death

and we sing
and we dance
and we pray

and we hear the mosquito
and we see the sting
and we feel the fever

and we sing
and we dance
and we pray

and we hope
and we believe
and we know

and we sing
and we dance
and we pray

and we forget
and we forget
and we forget
