Yeah,
for
my
Benjamine.
Bertoua
sun,
shining
on
us.
Listen.
Early
morning
light
hits
the
red
earth
road
I
see
your
face
and
it
lightens
the
load
In
the
quiet
streets
where
the
morning
wakes
You’
re
the
promise
that
the
spirit
makes
We’
ve
walked
these
paths
for
a
lifetime
now
With
a
steady
heart
and
a
sacred
vow
The
air
is
cool
and
the
day
is
slow
Everything
that
I
need
to
know
Is
right
here
in
your
steady
grace
Finding
home
in
your
kind
embrace
Benjamine,
you
are
the
morning
dew
And
all
I
have,
I
share
with
you.
Oh
Benjamine,
my
beautiful
wife
You
are
the
center,
the
joy
of
my
life
The
mother
of
the
children,
the
heart
of
the
home
With
you
by
my
side,
I’
ll
never
roam
In
Bertoua’
s
shade
where
the
memories
grow
You’
re
the
deepest
love
that
I’
ll
ever
know
Yes,
you’
re
the
love
that
I’
ll
ever
know.
We
watch
them
play
as
the
afternoon
fades
Counting
blessings
in
the
long
grass
glades
Your
laugh
is
steady,
a
song
so
deep
A
promise
that
we’
re
meant
to
keep
No
heavy
storms,
just
a
gentle
breeze
Rustling
softly
through
the
palm
trees
I
hold
your
hand
as
the
sky
turns
gold
A
story
of
ours
that
is
being
told
Not
loud
or
wild,
just
a
simple
peace
A
quiet
love
that
will
never
cease
Benjamine,
you
are
my
solid
ground
Where
all
of
my
truest
hopes
are
found.
Oh
Benjamine,
my
beautiful
wife
You
are
the
center,
the
joy
of
my
life
The
mother
of
the
children,
the
heart
of
the
home
With
you
by
my
side,
I’
ll
never
roam
In
Bertoua’
s
shade
where
the
memories
grow
You’
re
the
deepest
love
that
I’
ll
ever
know
Yes,
you’
re
the
love
that
I’
ll
ever
know.
It’
s
not
in
the
shouting,
it’
s
not
in
the
fire
It’
s
the
quiet
warmth
of
a
deep
desire
Day
after
day,
we
just
carry
on
Stronger
than
dusk,
clearer
than
dawn
I
choose
you
today,
just
like
the
start
With
every
beat
of
my
resting
heart.
Oh
Benjamine,
my
beautiful
wife
You
are
the
center,
the
joy
of
my
life
The
mother
of
the
children,
the
heart
of
the
home
With
you
by
my
side,
I’
ll
never
roam
In
Bertoua’
s
shade
where
the
memories
grow
You’
re
the
deepest
love
that
I’
ll
ever
know
Yes,
you’
re
the
love
that
I’
ll
ever
know.
Just
you
and
me.
In
Bertoua,
my
love.
Mother
of
my
children.
My
Benjamine.
Yeah,
we
carry
on. (
