Emmanuel Arunee Mwanza Poems

The sweetness of parenthood

Waking up each morning mothers prepare for them
As fathers are getting ready to escort them
...

Like a chef about to cook
My recipes I get
Looking at the list… planning I do
How do I make this delicious?
...

Good bye
is the first words that I have to say
good bye
to you
...

Go get her
they said
I am shy
i said
...

There might be a time
When we will cry
For being helpless
So hopeless we shall be for ignoring those who advised us
...

Come
"Come all,
Let's get them married"
Would be a statement
...

Give room for passion
Give space for the young
Those free to love
Who never tire to love?
...

As hot as the sun
I can be
But I would be careful with you
Because I know
...

Chase me, but don't chase me away
Run to me, but don't run to me to fight
Hit me, but don't hit me where it hurts
Fight me, but don't make me feel pain
...

I want you to hear this
I want you to read this
I want you to feel this
I wanted you to know that I was to wait
...
