Poem : God on my side!
God on my side!
God was such a
great presence.
during those days
when I was still
quite a little boy
growing up.
Imagine a scared
Young fellow
Going out to fetch
water at around
eight o’clock at night
I was the youngest
My older siblings
Were not at home
The water pipe was
a little distance
away from my house.
eight oclock was
pure horror for me.
I knew Jesus loved
the little children.
All the children
of the World!
That knowledge
was a huge part
of my overall sanity.
My father knew
exactly what he
was doing all along
It was his role
to make me a man.
he shouted hurry!
lets go hurry hurry!
But with the door ajar
it was dead black
outside and I knew
there plenty going on
I was seeing eyes
beast which lit up
like bulbs at night .
They were all around
The great plan was set
Everyone was involved
But i would not know
anything about this
for some time
I was probably around
Four years old
here I am praying
to God for my soul.
no crying would help
It was my time to start
Learning the ropes
Once I was able
to play then was able
to grow up playing
my part in the family.
Dad needs me to be
Brave it was his job
He wanted to break
My ice there was
No good by it being
Saved so all this time
there were many trees
all looking at me
As if they knew it was
my time to learn
They were making
these erie sounds
while waving at me
pretending to be
swaying in the breeze
It felt strange because
I played there every day
making my rounds
and there was nothing
that close as they are now ,
nothing hanging around
and to make it worse
they are having quite
a few things to say
As my dad looked at me
I knew what he meant
I went straight out
down the stairs without
thinking that anything
would happen this close
My daddy was present
He quickly slammed
the door and went inside
just at that moment
I was frozen, my entire world
crashed, went upside down !
I ran again up the stairs
knocked on the door
as my dad said , son
what's the #@ happening
I knew I would receive
quite a flogging
after which I would still
have to do it all over again
Now here I was
In a very bad way
he opened the door
the he said if you are
not gone before I
count to three
you will then bring me
Another bucket , now two.
My prayers started
They never stopped
Till I got into my home.
God on my side!
