My Memories of 2015

They say blood is thicker
than water,
but I've found great souls
who can
go an extra mile for you;
people who even may
not be close to your
genetic pool!

As a Kenyan citizen,
I'm proud my country
has been
spared from the slogan
"a hotbed of terror",
after Obama's
and Pope's visit.

As a human,
I'm glad that I've fallen
and risen,
hurt and healed,
scorned and forgave.....
I'm slowly evolving
to a better human being....
