Mango is the king of fruit,
How all of us for it do root!
When the summer heat makes us frown,
In mango pleasures do we drown,
Its ambrosial flavours are something to die for,
Its succulence is something to vie for,
It is the buoy for one’s sagging soul,
It can make our truncated selves whole,
A mango down our gullet takes life to another level,
It makes our spirit with joy dance and revel,
The more torrid the summers, the more potent the required balm,
What can heal us more than a mango in our palm,
When its heady juice trickles down our cheeks,
All our gloom into an unspeakable joy it tweaks,
This heavenly fruit speaks of God’s infinite grace,
To it we can His boundless love for us trace!
