From Kisii

From Kisii's loamy terrain, I ascend, Maroo's clasp, my rooted blend. A Christian's essence, bathed in God's grace, Sinner's visage, yearning His face. They perceive a flawless meld, Upon God's throne, destiny unveiled. For poetry's allure, ardor resides, Singing resonates from within, abides. Daily toils, domestic strife, Castoff epithets from bygone life. They lacked discernment, their judgments piled, In their assessments, I stood beguiled. Now mature, I stand resolute and tall, Prepared for life's summons, answering the call. In pursuit of a partner, grace I beseech, Understanding's warm clutch, within reach. Kneeling humbly, I petition and implore, Guide my path, dear Lord, forevermore. For a domicile and sage to guide, In steadfast patience, I'll abide. Oh, Almighty, in this relentless quest, Grant me the boon that suits me best. A peerless maiden, I fervently pray, To be my rib, come what may. ©Otieno Elvis Gikoi ?ArtFromHeart??
