A delicate and precious baby
Universally coveted by humanity.
When appropriately nurtured and cared for
Will preserve progress in life,
And positively impact all walks of life.
Yet only a single act of indiscretion,
Stubbornness, unforgiveness or indifference,
Could shatter its delicate frame
And waste the precious coveted fragrance
In the desert of regret and missed opportunities.
So give peace a chance around you.
Even our yet unborn off springs – our posterity
Will bless us for our act of thoughtfulness.
Please! Please! Think about Sierra Leone
Love your compatriots, fellow Sierra Leoneans
And let our land be home to us all.
If it is indeed, the Land that we love.
Your home will always be in you
And you will never be truly out of your home.
