Nyagaka Charles Poems

I was at peace long ago,
My villages and towns stood in
ego,
Crops grew and away men didnt
...

You brought me up in this unfair world,
Teaching me not to say the wrong word,
When I 4got u reminded me,
You never let me fall when I slipped,
...

Right from our wedding years ago,
It has been a long ride,
With undying hope we have looked on to this,
together.
...

After 'The Great Controversy' broke out,
The 'Desire of Ages' asked 'Prophets and Kings,
2 seek 'Counsels of Stewardship'
From 'The Bible Commentary'

If my life could be a midnight, I'd spend it counting the wonderful stars n drawing there numerous fabulous patterns...

If all my life were night, I'd spend all of it sleeping and dreaming about all my pals...

Long ago in the night at nine,
On the dry rugged road so brown,
A donkey brayed on its way
down.
...

I was buried in the abandoned path to drain,
Covered with soil, out in the rain,
I found strength to rise and reign,
Like grass sprouting on the rugged terrain.
...

Just as the nightingale praises God
for the newborn day,
The crow hushes in shame for it
is shy,
...

Sometimes we look up to the sky,
But dense fog bars us from the upward alley,
Sometimes our hearths howl and cry,
But we lack the energy the tear to dry,
...

Upon this useless earth a prince descended,
From a palace far away there came a man,
A hope for the faithless,
A road for the pilgrims,
...
