Miner's Daughter Poem by Effraim Munsaka

Its not easy to be a fruit!
to realise that you'll either end up on someone's throat or fall down and die away!

Its not easy to be a thief!
to look at your own TV and realise that you cannot steal it!

Its not easy to be a christian!
to realise to say thank you for a smile; to forgive when it really hurts, and to smile when you really feel like crying!

Its not easy to be you!
to realise its the only person you'll ever be!

Its not easy to be me!
to stare at your beauty and realise that the only thing i can ever do is look at it!

It will not be easy to face the future!
to realise that such wonderful moments with you only come once!

I know its not easy at all, but thanks for being a good friend!
