Brighten Our Future. Poem by Shamba Kaunda

Life remains a riddle,
To all of us even awidow,
We have skills and some talents,
But we luck a guiding hand of a parent,
And a protective wall from those who infringe,
We stand by the bridge,
Waiting for a rope for us to reach,
And pull us to the other side of life,
Which seems to be so doubtful and dark,
But our hope remains without a crack,
For we know we hold future in our hands,
Strong and unmoved we stand.

When is our time goin to come?
The question is still absurd,
If anything went wrong,
Certainly we would have heard,
Pave us a way and let us take over,
Resign and guide us while your place we cover,
Be our knowledge feeders,
While you are building good leaders,
Be our source inspiration,
With a compass in your hand please show us direction,
Your experience is our wisdom,
And our strength is the future of this kingdom.
Please brighten our future!
