In Zimbabwe, where the sun shines bright, The people are known for their joyful spirit. Their sculpting style, a reflection of their delight, With each piece, their happiness, they exhibit.
The sunny face, a symbol of their joy, Carved from stone, with a beaming smile. It's hard to resist, its happiness you can't destroy, A reminder to embrace life, and forget for a while.
Their art reflects the beauty of their land, And the warmth of their people's heart. It's hard not to fall under its magical wand, And feel the joy of life, and play a part.
In Zimbabwe, where happiness is a way of life, The sunny face, a reminder to smile and thrive. To embrace the sun and all that's bright, And let happiness shine, both day and night.
