A Shona proverb warns, “One strays far away from his/her mother at his/her own peril”. Now I really understand what it means! Out here, who will pick me up when I fall? Who will see me when I am sick? Who will cheer me up when I am down? Who is going to comfort me when I cry? I miss home, take me back home.
Where I come from, they clap along when I play… they ululate when I dance. It’s not fulfilling to dance by myself. I miss home. Take me home.
