The Baobab Tree , Lake Malawi, photo by Richard Dove
These photo’s taken on a recent trip to Malawi inspired a hunt for a poem about the Baobab Tree which I found here
Come with me, to the Baobab tree,
To the Baobab tree, where eyes
will shine,
And hearts will leap
And feet will dance
And hands will touch
In one-two time.
Come with me, to the Baobab tree,
To the Baobab tree, where tears will dry,
And lips will sing
And hearts will breathe
And feet will dance
In one-two time.
- Julie Redstone

I have been loving that name, “baobob tree”, since reading the Little Prince in jr. high. So poetic! This is a lovely poem.
The poem is so perfect for the spirit of these wonderful trees. Photos are fantastic.
Great Poem,
Would really like to hear more of your work, aslo looking for folk stories about the Baobab.
