This free verse poem celebrates the spirit of togetherness and community that unites Sierra Leoneans through the online platform of Leonenet. It encourages participants to keep the flame of this connection alive through shared experiences, laughter, and love.

In the heart of Africa, a nation rises
Where the hills meet the sea, and the people thrive
In the diaspora, scattered far and wide
We find a way to stay connected, to keep our culture alive

Through the wires and screens, we gather online
To share our stories, our hopes, our dreams
To laugh and to love, and to lift each other up
To keep the spirit of Leonenet alive, and ever ablaze with hope

We come from different walks of life, and different parts of the globe
But we are united by a common bond, a shared history and heritage
We are a community of brothers and sisters, bound by a common cause
To keep the flame of Leonenet burning bright, and to inspire the world

So let us raise our voices, and sing our songs
Let us dance and laugh, and revel in the joys
Of friendship and fellowship, and the boundless love
That keeps the spirit of Leonenet alive, and ever new

For though the miles may separate us, and the years may pass
The bond that holds us together, will always last
Through thick and thin, through trials and triumphs
We are Leonenet, and we will always be.
