What's Needed ---The Shairi In Swahili Poetry
……
In someone's bad days with trouble
one can't do much in her struggle
but some support, let’s be humble;
if need be give her a cuddle.
Needed at that instant with care
is to hear her story to share
her sorrow with kindness, be fair
but without suggestion, don't scare.
Patience hearing and a touch to
shoulder will go a long way to
provide comfort, greatest gift to
offer at time of distress too.
She won't remember what words you
told but she would reminisce, you
heard woes, gave needed support too
with fondness, when she's feeling blue.
