Alone Poem by Wilbur Motholo

When springs of sorrow and floods of pain gush into my life...
When all I feel is being helpless and defenseless...
When my mind repeatedly gets flooded and waterlogged by sad memories of the past...
When fear and confusion strike like lightning...
When nothing or anyone can't be there to offer shelter when it never rained but poured in my life...
the only thing I'll ever have is God...
to act as a drainage system in my life...
To dry away all my troubles and pain
