This week”s poem inspired by events unfolding in Zimbabwe, and the cheerful marchers filling the streets of Harare with determined hope today…. whatever the future may bring.
Today for Zimbabwe
People so hungry for hope
They wave this flag without caution.
They will not wait,
They take their hope today
Today, shed their tears of joy
Today, dare to believe.
Today hope runs laughing through Harare
Weeping with joy in Bulawayo.
Today, speak without fear
Today, speak for yourself
The People are all tribes, all colors, today,
Soldiers and citizens, young and old.
Grace in disgrace,
Bob no longer your uncle.
Let tomorrow bring what it will,
Today is a day for Zimbabwe.

Yes ,today is the day. The day bursting with hope. The future we leave for tomorrow. We have tried it before. In 1980 and in 2000.the feeling of being one Zimbabwe, where we all want to work together to build up Zimbabwe to her full,great potential.
What a day! – and it is not linked to the heat of October.
