Believe it or not, one of my neighbors is a Masai Princesse that weeded an engineer working for Norad helping African countries.
She tells the most amazing stories coming down from eons back from generation to generation.
After been there my self in all of Africa's shores and beyond, I can relate with fondness to "little one, little one, awake with me with the morning sun"

Bernice, this is truly visually beautiful, and I was singing along with it. Your voice brings to life a village in a far off country and allowed this reader to fill in much with imaginations. I loved the laid back, stress free surroundings I felt while reading this. This is a true keeper.

There is simplicity to the order of such days...
I miss visiting Haiti and feeling the unhurried attitude of the people. In some ways it is definitely a harder life, but... on the other hand...they understand the true necessities of life and they enjoy the simple things in life that I often don't take the time to even notice because I am so busy with unimportant things.

Lovely writing, it doesn't sound like a very simple day, though.
The pressure and incoherence of the outside world don't seem
to exist. Maybe that's what makes it sound simple: all the things
one does have a reason and a direct influence on everyday life.

How appropriate this write is for me to read and review tonight Bernice. I just returned tonight from the Annual Reunion of the Canadian Black Battalion (2nd Construction) who were a group of African Canadians who literally fought to get into WWII to die for their country. Besides the usual round of speeches they had about thirty Black Canadian kids called the TC3 who are a dance and singing troop with drums out of Toronto...this write reminded me of them.

I agree with Jerry. This is a delight to read, Bernice. It reminds me of my childhood on the northern Canadian prairies; life was not easy but I remember missing it very much when we moved. Thank you for sharing this lovely poetic song. Love and best wishes to you,
