For the Diasporians

She is mine to have

She has a home for me and you

 Home but still I come and go

 Always taking away new memories

 Her beauty inspires many stories

 I go away from her as long as I always do

Only to return to the warmth of her embrace

 Sighing with contentment each time I drive in

Her picturesque view from the Station

 Feels like déjà vu to complete elation

 An image you must have seen in a book

 Beautiful pictures of a thousand sunsets

 Year after year she has stayed same

 Just like when I lastly came

 Is it her warmth that never goes?

Cos she welcomes friends and foes

 Plus her offspring have blossomed so

 Just as tolerant and good – natured

 Cosmopolitan and welcoming as she

 I love her magic in style to welcome

 Today, I dare call her my home

As the future of this new era

I’m proud you are my Bamenda
