Leaving The Gambia I start to reminisce About all the people I have met And all the things that I will miss Domoda and nebe to name but a few Peeing outside under the stars too! Crazy roars of thunder waking me as I sleep The first scoop of water in 40 degree heat Vibrant colours strolling everywhere Beautiful sculptures in place of hair Alluring fabric enticing us in Foster Clarks with plenty of Gin The Kerewan crew, sitting round a fire Daily offerings of endless attaya Food bowl; the need for all to be fed Gigantic butterflies flying around my head Lamin, my bike, what more can I say A love affair that ended sadly one day Slipping and sliding across a sea of sand and the best accidental wheelie throughout the land! But by far what I will miss above all the rest Are all the people I have met who are simply the best! It is true what they say about the Gambian smile I will not forget the kindness for quite a while To volunteers present and volunteers past Thank you for making my stay such a blast! It has been a privilege to share this adventure with you Cheers to you all and The Gambia ever true |
