Poem
I have no place to call home I have no man to call friend Alone in this dreadful world With the sky as my roof: And the clouds as my blanket How safe can I be? I am a sojourner! I go anyplace my feet can carry me From the north to the south And the East to the west I don’t even know what it is I’m looking for. But I sure hope someday I will find something And all my efforts shall be rewarded Lord give I Strength To navigate through the storms To climb high over the mountains Until I reach my next destination And the one after that... Until my feet can carry me no more I am a sojourner! I do not spend two nights in one place Not used to overstaying my welcome I travel through all kinds of roads From country roads to narrow paths! City highways to strip roads! Through the day and through the night OH LORD...I need your light! No one ever asks my name I do not have any friends So I call upon you OH Lord To be my companion in this journey of life Alone I cannot make it Because no one is willing to walk with me I am a sojourner! If I had wings I would fly Over cities and towns...villages and kraals So my journey would be easier & fun Too bad i only have two feet I have to follow the long and tiresome roads OH lord give me patience! From one city to another...one country to the other. At least I get to live every man's dream To travel the world and see places So I live to testify... "THERE IS NOTHING OUT THERE" I am a sojourner!
