Read Poem: Yemojah’s Lullaby, by Tamara T. Frederick

There are many different children around the world,
some little boys and some little girls,
Different languages and culture,
But all have their peacocks and all have their vultures,
Finding beauty can be hard, before a lullaby makes a wish upon a star.
Earth you came and earth is the heart, remember all dreams are worth it with bits of work that
can be hard, your homework, chores, and other disciplines can get tough, and even parents
should be listening. Don’t cry little butterflies if they don’t, never worry about others who
won’t, with this lullaby you shall not only find rest, but this lullaby will help you through
many tests.
Although it’s different languages learning is important, learn these things ahead and you may
avoid the impulsive, reactions and words that you may say, may this medicine for a rainy day:
Yemojah, Yemojah, mizu’des, mizu’des
Eske nou tande mwen, Eske nou tande mwen,
Te amo, Te amo! (x2s)
English:
Yemojah, Yemojah, it’s water, it’s water
Can you hear me, can you hear me
I love you, I love you!
