Ga sinda yaddi pila usa la ga sosai wa - You know I haven’t said thank you enough…
Falls so gruesome and
Dangerous…
You always lessened the impact.
Tears, overflowing
And overwhelming,
Washing over like a flood…
You always wiped them away.
Pain so deep, so bitter…
Engulfing and blinding,
Had me at the lowest level of the pit…
You always healed to the core.
No scars.
No painful recollections.
No bandaged fragments.
As though I was never down there.
And so for the many people
You’ve sent my way…
And so for the many paths
You’ve let me thread…
And so for the many things
You’ve let me have…
And so for the many more
Situations I’m about to dive into…
I just want to say…
