MY VILLAGE

Where I Feel Belonged

Am back to my roots,

To the home of my ancestors,

To my village,

Where I feel a sense of belonging.

38 years ago, my mum took me away in search of better life. Like Jacob left Isreal for Egypt and Nomi left Bethlehem for Moab in search of wheat and bread.

Now am returning to:

My Land,

My river,

My water falls,

My streams and my brooks,

To where the spirit of my ancestors are.

O I feel so belonged,

I feel whole,

I feel complete,

It is such a awesome feeling.
