A kind of dedication
\nThat one may never see
\nBecause of her inbuilt dedication
\nWhich She hides so expertly
\nA kind of fearsome countenance
\nBut a warm and tender soul
\nWho doesn’t take fools kindly
\nWith an abrupt control<\/p>\n
All the way from Zimbabwe
\nA landlocked nation where
\nBritain shared its glory
\nAs Rhodesia, aware
\nNo doubt of the true nature
\nOf the Africans true heart
\nInfact she stands for Africa
\nAnd Ruby does impart<\/p>\n
SHe loveS her salty karpenta
\nAnd the caterpillas too
\nThe house of stone as we have known
\nThe stones of the Shona do
\nBring a special meaning
\nA heritage by name
\nBespecteled and sophisticated
\nAnd always more than game<\/p>\n
Trained in the UK she took her stalwart drIve to be
\nThe best at every test she has
\nShe shows it constantly
\nA wry smile on those sun drenched lips
\nAnd a name that holds the light
\nHead and shoulders above the rest
\nShe carries on her fight<\/p>\n
In a completely different world
\nIn STOKE Mandeville today
\nWith all the nationalities
\nShe is clearly holding sway
\nMany here respct her
\nAnd she’s worthy of the praise
\nWith me its a hate love relationship
\nFor me a learning phase<\/p>\n
