19. At the heart of the African plainStands a tree both old and sage:A survivor of sunshine and rainSilent witness to many an ageBut this is no ordinary treeFor her trunk is hollow insideAnd faithfully she keeps unseenThe secret of her native tribeFor her cave’s a place of birthA haven safe from dangerThis womb of Mother EarthIs Africa’s child manger The Baobab stands proud and strongShe serves her people as midwifeIt’s been thus generations longShe’s Africa’s great Tree of Life.
