For Blank PAD 24-1

 For Africa

 

I’m thankful for

Africa travels and that I got to go.

Baraka the blind and tame, black rhino

Cape buffaloes, big and brawny with curly horns

Drivers of the safari jeeps, Kenyan born

Elephants, eagles and elands with dewlap on their throat

Foods in Kenya, Kenyan stew with goat

Gazelles with waggly tails and giraffes with long necks

Hungry hyenas, huge hippos and naughty hyraxes

Impalas, gentle, sleek and pretty 

Jackals and “Jambo” a greeting in Swahili

Kenya and Karen Blixen Museum

Leopards and Lions and how fun to see ’em!

Monkey hugging its baby high in Acacia

Nairobi and boat ride on Lake Naivasha

Ostriches, Elephant Orphanage and Ol Pejeta

People, especially the children, of Kenya

Quiet rest at Sweetwaters Serena Camp

Rhinoceroses and their awkward stamp

Sister, traveling partner and friend I’m fond of

Trees: Acacia and beautiful purple Jacaranda

Ugali recipes and Kenyan hospitalities

Victorious dance by women who make beads

Wildebeests, waterbucks, and wild dogs

eXciting safaris, mud-flinging warthogs

Young and old animals, a cure for the gloomies

Zebras, the little ones with zebra zoomies.

Thank You for Africa and what I experienced there.

Thank You for Your presence and I’m always in Your care.
