The simplicity of life in a village reminds one of the important things in life that makes us human.

            Fresh air, calm atmosphere

            Green scenery everywhere

            Coffee bushes, fig trees, mango trees

            Loamy soil, healthy crop

            Soothing to the soul

            Refreshing and relaxing

 

            Life simple and unassuming

            Cows, goats, chicken—wealth

            Cow- dung thatched huts

            Tin roofed mud houses

            Modern brick and stone houses

            Co-existing in peace and harmony

 

            Wisdom of the elderly respected

            Talk on family, weather, crop, treasured

            Valuing and reaching out for their own  

            Children happily, barefoot they play

            Honoring God in all they do

            One people, one spirit!
