How, I wish for
A childhood that was tearless
A home that felt more like home,
Thirsted from affection and care
Was Left to search for fertility
Poor fragile seedling.
Entangled in frustrations
Of those that nutured me
Now, I wish for
Splendid seasons, no end
Delicacies lined to my taste
Gifted but humble,
Wealthy but kind
A tortoise love
With colours of pure life
Emotions like sunset
On the seashore
A life, I wish for
An open, healing heart
One that bleeds but mends
A jubilant walk, Haunka matata
If ever, I hit my toe
And sadness germinates,
An unwanted plant: a weed
I will eliminate
Every day on this land
Shall count
They will know I was here
