Cameroon
peace – work – fatherland
the colours and message
of the Republic of Cameroon
their flag and their coat of arms
why has Cameroon arrived to be shared
it is a jewel from the heart of Africa
known for its football, its diversity, its beauty
hidden from the chaos that surrounds it
please look up and read
it has a message to heed
from the pain of its past
it has anchored and cast
a way of life
a preservation
of what is important

Out of Nowhere
out of nowhere
the truth can arrive
out of nowhere
our fears can subside
the beauty, the grace
of the whole human race
is ours to behold

Prayerful
we are given to prayer
when faced with extremes
sometimes things are beyond us
and we don’t have the means
we pray then for help
support, inspiration
we pray for understanding
and that our strength be renewed
surrendering our worries
that they may be reviewed
by the Presence that’s there
we are always looked after
we pray for patience
we pray for the seeds
those we’ve vested in or planted
may they flourish and grow
we pray for the daylight, for a coming together
we pray for the more, the more we will sow
ideas, precious visions
new ways to be
we pray for all life
to be happy and free
and we give thanks
