Take Heart! Poem by Mutsawashe Museredza

When life lowers, you
down it's us who decide
Whether to remain down or
to rise.-karate kid Movie Jackie Chan
Take heart
One of my long time friend
consoled me, after my devastating
loss, and so untimely loss of my
Mother.
It was terrible time of my life, horrific, horrendus, torrid time,
It was deep, Immense pain
I couldn't bear see her in that unconscious
State, having spent time with her
Conversing, all of a sudden, she
Could not murmur a audible word,
Take heart!
I had to take that role of the elder
brother, to comfort my brother and
Sister I needed to carry myself, and
carry my brother and sister to comfort
Take heart.
Be of good courage...
Joshua encouraged us.
Life's journey.with it's ups and downs,
in face of a Goliath, take David's courage
Take heart.
