Pope Francis you are welcome to Africa,
Everyone in Africa welcomes you,
yes, this is true, everyone,
Even the young one will be told about you,
In Africa the seasons will be named after you,
yes, 'my child shall be named Francesca if she is a girl.'
'My child shall be named Francis if he is a boy.'
'We had a bumper harvest during the Papal visit.'
Some will say, 'I felt the Spirit of the Lord,'
Others will say 'I was there and saw the pope with my eyes,'
You are a blessing to Africa,
You are a blessing to Kenya,
And so many will say, Uganda is blessed,
We were blessed before time,
Central African Republic is blessed,
You came to many countries in Africa,
Even if you visited 3 countries this time around,
You were on the African continent,
A very promising continent,

A very promising continent,
Am sure you are aware of this,
The smile you bring to many faces,
The humility and purpose,
The meaning of living in the now,
The reason to bring God in our life,
The effort behind being responsible,
The mortar between humanity and nature,
Many people were brought together by your visit,
By this I don't mean mere getting together in one place,
many people joined in the occasions that made your visit to Uganda successful,
People from different walks of life,
You brought about peace among enemies,
You caused many to revisit their dreams about life,
We saw purpose dressed in clothes,
A child kissed,
A leper hugged,
a young girl welcomes the pope,
adolescents given hope,
You lit a fire in all of us,
A fire of love,
A fire of respect,
A fire of accountability,
A fire of resolve,
A fire of commitment,
Whether in Kenya, Uganda or Central African Republic,
We promise you: we shall keep the fire burning!
