Flickers of Time

FLICKERS OF TIME dear dear one It's now clocking seven years Since you left me in this maddening crowd Lonely as a grape tree in the yard Fearing that some strong wind may one day knock me down I still lay in melee Hoping that some day The wind will blow you back to me When you left me The world seemed a void I was enclosed with fear I became numb Never did it cross my mind That I had a second chance at living But as long as I was breathing I realized I had no excuse to life I still lay in melee Hoping that someday The wind will blow you back to me Nevertheless, I composed myself Basing on how you nurtured me You always told me That I am a woman of inner strength And a great deal of courage And if only I I live, I will make you proud You always said that I am a variant woman And you see remarkable greatness in me Whenever your words echo in my brain I wake up in the darkness to bring the light Hoping that some day The wind will blow you back to me Seven years have now flown And I realize that even the strong wind Will never blow you back to me I am not sorry I will never have you back But I am glad that you are with God Now if only I could hear you sing to God I would be the happiest of all creatures Seven years of your absence But you still lie in my heart Mbabazi Stellah
