Lazarus Ombai Poem
Prayer I chant,
Forward I slant,
Down on my knees,
From above He sees.
My cry He hear,
Aware of my fear,
Only Him I idolize,
My faith He visualize.
His comforting word,
Brings hope into my world,
One with a caring heart,
To avoid me from hurt.
January till December,
Still me He remember.

Lazarus Ombai Poem
I met her on my way to earth,
Few seconds then, just after my birth,
The woman who introduced me to her,
Left her for her sister earlier,
Having nobody to hold my hand,
So in her I could have a tall stand.
Despite being her guest, she was cruel,
Meeting her I cried, that I remember well,
Unfair she was to me compared to others,
Making me question her love for my brothers,
I asked her how many sides had she,
Answer she gave me, was wait and see.
I realized she had both good and bad,
And could foretell I had to work hard,
My name to gain some meaning in her in future,
All these I think but I'm not mature.
Still she uses me in my prime,
Leaving me to her sister for rest of the time,
Though for her sister she has no love,
Between them I'm the only linking nerve.

Lazarus Ombai Poem
Memory, it takes me to years back,
When you protected us from the dark,
These tears for you I roll,
While my phone gallery I scroll,
Staring at the pictures imagining of course,
How elegant we pose with you in the back rows,
Holding our hands, a big happy family,
Having no idea you would leave us finally,
Concerned for our future, you took us to school,
So as to learn life's golden rule,
Now we struggle to keep up,
Care and love we had drifts, because of the gap,
We've forgotten your teachings on brotherhood,
As we concentrate to create ourselves a livelihood,
You now have twelve grandchildren,
(Junior, Leon, Ryan, Ian, Andy, Tyrone,
Grandpa, Hermes, Grandy, Queen, Nolarn,
Lowell Jabilo, Jakarungu, Mama and Fadhili)
I myself still have none,
Still your lineage has really expanded,
The 'Buore's', the name we've branded,

Lazarus Ombai Poem
He only asked for her number,
Knowing not it was a huge blunder,
Thought their relationship could be strong,
but the digits she gave him were wrong,
She seemed shy and innocent,
This made him propose an engagement,
Promised to think it over,
Whether or not she would be his lover,
His heart paused for a while,
when she gave out her half-Monalisa smile,
His adrenal level went high,
And the best relief was when he sigh,
All she said translated to a lie,
Of which if he thinks of, he want to cry,
Her cousin she said the young lady was,
Only to turn out she was her boss,
Message he gets as his phone beep,
Struggles to wake from his sleep,
Just to read, "MY NUMBER DELETE"
He wondered if this meant he was late,
She ignored him but against her own will,
She knew to see him she wanted still,
Unfortunately limit between them had been set,
Time for each other, they can no longer get.

Lazarus Ombai Poem
How much further, can his legs walk,
They began earlier, and she don't talk,
The path narrow, their bodies must touch,
Only spoke of sorrow, holding the door lurch.
With just a step, she is out,
Behind he leap, in her there's doubt,
He saw the hate, she had for her,
Unfair is the fate, they can say so, so far.
He had to run, to keep up her pace,
It wasn't fun, her smile had to cease,
He felt her tear, in the cold night,
Could see the fear, he had to fight.
In his whole life, she he'll love,
Take her as a wife, his kids to have,
"I seek what's mine, my bone my rib'
She'll be divine, no matter the tribe.

Lazarus Ombai Poem
Yesterday went, today is gone,
Tomorrow comes, see how you've grown,
'Tistine you mumured, today you talk,
Started by crawling, today you perfectly walk.
As you turn five, have a happy birthday.
