Beautiful poem. While friends of mine are at this moment in time climbing Kilimanjaro, I am sitting at home reading your poem. Thank you for taking me there.

Thanks Pam. Again and again you put a smile in my face, poetry is delicious and has to be shared and shared...your comments are inspirational
Mt Kilimanjaro is Africa's spy in the sky. Good poem about Mama Africa's beauty.
