No Matter How I Try My Dear Poem by Charles Wamuti

The spaces and distances between us never die,
That even though another Christmas has gone by,
My heart still sings a song sang only by those who cry,
Of a loved one who left but never said goodbye!

Please baby tell me where do i gain,
The strength to sail me through all this pain,
Coz my heart screams like a lamb being slain,
Since yet another Christmas i’ll just be in stress and strain,
But i guess the debts of love are what i’m payin’

I wish for the Christmas i wake and find you by my side,
And that morning i will stretch with joy and pride,
I swear that through my fingers i’ll never let you slide,
I will hold you through thick and thin, narrow and wide,
And through this life together you and i will glide.
