In the whispers of moments,
I sat to listen to him, his name was Harrydus,
A grandson of one of the old gone boys,
Who used to sit on the hilltop, gazing a tranquil lake,
An heir to a man who knew Christ well,
A brother to some five little Akinyi's darlings,
And he said, as I penned his words.

" I wish to seek forgiveness,
For I shattered hearts and betrayed trust,
Perhaps I yearned to flee,
Escape from the expectations that weren't mine,
My father must have pondered over me,
As he would say "do what you can defend,"
But Dad, I'm remorseful for straying off course.

Amidst the bonds of friendship,
In the pages of honesty,
I'm uncertain of my place in my friends' hearts,
I concede that my actions,
May not suffice to reciprocate,
Or repay the selves they sacrificed for my sake,
And here I am, grappling with this lingering fear,
That one day I might falter,
Letting them down, and never finding redemption.

Some chapters of my love story,
Are etched boldly with her name as the heading,
What if I find myself in another's embrace tomorrow,
What if she regrets investing in me each day,
I dread becoming her worst disillusionment,
If that were to happen, may she know,
She was and remains the pinnacle of my existence,
The love I adorned, who losing her would render love an empty term.

In the echoes of my solitary musings,
I yearn for the solace of absolution,
Hoping for a chance to mend the fractures,
To rebuild the trust I once carelessly fractured,
And to emerge from the shadows of doubt,
As a beacon of unwavering sincerity,
Guiding those who once stood by me,
Through the tumultuous tides of uncertainty.

As I pen these heartfelt confessions,
I implore the fates for leniency and grace,
To grant me the strength to right my wrongs,
And the wisdom to cherish and nurture,
The precious bonds that time cannot erase,
For in the tapestry of life's intricate design,
I aspire to weave a legacy of redemption,
Inscribed with the enduring ink of heartfelt contrition

And when my time has come,
I pray my name will endure,
As I make my way to heaven's gate,
May my deeds of contrition and love,
Outshine the shadows of my transgressions,
And may forgiveness pave my path,
As I seek solace in the embrace of grace.
