Life Footprints

LIFE FOOTPRINTS I am Alfonso II, Warally Chris, The Son of Prince Theodore Rally, I was born in nineteen eighty, In Uvira Kidjaga. When I was eight years The river Kalimabenge flooded; It took my granny’s house And some people found Me in the mud after eight hours. When I was eighteen years, Some murderers killed our four neighbors. The entire community was shocked and marched Carrying the dead bodies. I was among protesters who fought against lawbreakers But we were shot by the lawmakers. Many friends lost their lives And my leg was broken. It was around ten, The birds sang some sad songs In the entire town. Coming Evening, Some Samaritans rescued me from the pit, The bullet broke the bone into pieces, The world sounded over to me. I saw darkness in eight days, I hide in the grave before my burial, The soldiers were looking for the survivors of the massacre. After hundred twenty-eight, I could walk well. When I was twenty-eight years, One night, I was coming from work, I met with some xenophobic people And they stabbed me mortally. God was with me. It was not my last day on this earth. I was admitted to a good hospital, The doctors and nurses took care for me, After twenty-eight days, I was healed completely. I decided to work for God forever, Today, I am teaching the Bible To women groups, Schools, Prisons And Hospitals. To God be the glory Amen! By Alfonso II Warally Chris June 9th,2017
