An angel from South Africa

an angel came from South Africa

to teach me about love

unconditional and trusting

love without fear

she came so that I could be

completely free from me

gladly stripped of my will

my expectations

my insignificant perspective

perception and opinion

an angel came from South Africa

to reveal the spirit of fearlessness

she brought with her

her friend hope

and her sister faith

See what I mean

What can I say. I don't have any children of my own, but I wished I could have brought him home with me from South Africa. He didn't have parents, but still, like all the South Africans I met, he didn't want my pity or my tears...he had internal hope that emanated from him. He probable felt sorry for me...

New York, just like i pictured it

it was cold and rainy

but inside we laughed and eat food

the driver was skilled

and we never worried

i imagined what it must be like to ride up and down the tracks

going to work or maybe not even having a job

it was cold and rainy

but warm and festive on the inside

I felt blessed

but was also very much in touch
