The mother tongues are the Mother tongues,
spoken by the first land,
and by the homeland,
chosen by nature,
native to the soul,
language of the heart,
reflection of the mind.
Every day I am,
reaching out to you,
seeking a connection,
to your loving nation,
seeking your validation,
from my daily frustration.
Powerful, tender energies,
divine resilience,
amazing synergies,
breath-taking eloquence.
Every day I pray,
To follow your pace,
To mimic your grace.
*Ba Sali, Ba Djénné, Ba Marième: Ba means mother in Bambara and Maninka which are West African languages.
