Poem
I remember meeting you many years ago That warm Sunday afternoon I remember the love I got from you, your mum, your dad and your sister Like an avalanche you guys embraced me with greater love I couldn't have imagined I was young student from Kenya new in a world and culture that I couldn't have known how to deal with if it wasn't for people like you That aurora of love have seen me this far I remember coming to your soccer games You were so good Girl, you made your parents so proud Your dad was the luckiest of all the dads, because he also was the coach Like an avalanche, your physical ability and stability won you many games Then many years later there was separation and divorce, and boom! Things changed from there But even with the aurora of pain hanging around, you, your mum and your sister still got time to give me the best 21st birthday ever And from that day, I've been hooked to cheesecake Then after that we dint hang out as much I got busy with school Your mum had to get couple jobs Once in awhile me and your mum had dinner And did some catching up She told me about you Sad news to my ears The people you hang out with it The trouble you were getting into Coming to visit you in jail is one of the hardest things I've ever done I was so embarassed and scared I dint know how to approach you in that kind of meeting You were happy to see me "Susan, I've made some bad decisions in my life" you said to me You talked about changing your life; no more guns, no more drugs, no more bad company You were so confident You weren't scared, I was scared You had that street aura that nobody can mess with you You proudly showed your many tattoos that covered you all over You showed me your muscles too Your mum says, you are the son your dad never had The most touching moment for me was when you sang me that Swahili song, the song you guys sang for me the first time we met I couldn't control my tears coz I remember you as this quite hardworking girl that loved soccer so much You reminded me of the dinner I had at my place, where I entertained you all with some kenyan cuisine and music Your grandparents were there too, I respect them so much for their missionary work in Kenya and Zaire Girl, I love you I pray for you I pray that you may have better years to come I pray that positive aurora of life will lead you through I pray that no matter what avalanche befalls on You; whether positive or negative You will have the tools to deal with it
