S-Ruth Ncede,MANTAKWENDE!

Laughter filled our home
Sweet voice anchored our home
The finger that was always pointing
Sucked finger made a lifetime mark

Elegance was her middle name
Confidence was her best friend
Humour was the twinkle in her eye
Oooh,that temper,say no more

Those eyes said it all
Her body language told a story
Her dark skin guided her life
Her natural hair showed who she was

She was quite unknown
Stories left untold
Experiences left unshared
Goals left unachieved

She is part of my world
She is part of me
The only one who knew her was me
The only one who knows her is me
Only me,Mamntakhwende
