On My Knees Poem by Leena Amwaalwa

On my knees I have found my name.
On my knees I have found my voice.
On my knees I have found my comfort.
On my knees I have found my home, my place, my people.
On my knees I have found my strength.
On my knees I have found my wisdom.
On my knees I have found my glide.
On my knees I have found my light.
On my knees I have found my healing.
On my knees I have found my second chance, again and again.
On my knees I have found my redemption.
My purpose, my freedom.
