He came at the right time
Although he has always been there
I tried to get up and make it happen
But he pulled me down everytime
I did not understand at first
Why the punishment
Have I not suffered enough
Am I not worthy
I was drowning in misery
BUT
I forgot to listen
To the words
The surroundings
The energy
TIME
It wasn't my time just yet
And now it is
Here I am
Before you thy holy
Loved and given strength
Wisdom to carry others
I may not understand it all
But I am listening
And I am grateful
Father
Andile Chagi
Poet's note: When I wrote this poem, I was in a thinking stage.
Thoughts about everything possible, God, his existence, my existence and how much of a loving and Forgiving father he truly is. A way of admitting my wrongs and admitting his existence and love towards me.
