QUESTION 1

Prayer about unity through diversity...
by Hermy Balcomb (H.L Balcomb)
Follow the rainbow
Mama Africa sings
"It will lead you
To a place in my heart
Called the Rainbow Nation
Many know of this world as South Africa
A place of rich colors, shapes, and textures.

And search for that common thread that connects all of us.
To these words from the Khoisan language
That says Diverse People Unite
"For when we unite, we create
A rainbow of hope, light, and combined might
Through our sense of compassion,

South Africa,
I'll only be sharing a few of my favorite aspects,
Mama Africa reminds me...
Under the starry glow of the Southern Cross
As a spotted hyena echoes her excitement.
By fearlessly laughing far off in the bushveld.
Mama Africa isn't fazed by that sound,
As she stretches out her hand and says,
Welcome
