I know your beginning
You endured cold like a polar bear.

You sustained hunger like a crocodile. 

You conquered sickness and fear.

You remained emotionally strong like a dolphin. 

I know your route.

You were so resilient, like an aloe plant.

You strived both in hardships and challenges.

You never gave up, 

because you knew your destiny. 

You are like a baobab tree,

that during the rainy season 

absorbs and stores water in its vast trunk,

enabling it to produce nutrient-dense fruit in the dry season.
