As I take this Oath...
By Chebet Caroline
As I step to worlds unknown,
Scribble this seal of
eternity,
Walked down this isle,
As I utter this words
For me to seal this vow,
I feel your cold Momma,
I feel your loneliness,
As I slip this ring in his
hand and
As I turn my back at you,
To give a hug to someone
else,
I feel the betrayal,
That the hugs I have given
you while I was with you was not enough
I feel the cold biting,
Yours was a warm hug of a
Momma
While this is a seal of
eternal vows of love
As I move down this aisle,
With best wishes sweeping
through my feet,
I can feel your heart going
numb,
I can feel the mixed reaction
in you,
Both sad and happy,
As you see me take this vow,
To live and love this man
As I scribble this seal of
eternal engagement,
I feel your voice getting
lost
While you cannot utter a word
I can feel your heart throb
with uncertainty
If,
This man will take care of
your little girl.
As this ring is slipped to my
finger,
I can feel your tears
I can feel the million thuds
of heartthrobs
I can feel your anger
That someone is stealing your
jewel
I can feel your envy,
Of someone robbing you of
your treasure.

when the storm is over
We might never know the time when trouble will still lurk,
Nor we are sure of its course
We might never know what awaits us,
I can never promise you when all will fade
When trouble will crumble to naught and set us free
But all I need from you
Is surety to stand through,
Strong eyes to portray hope,
Loving heart to steady our steps,
And a determined soul that all will be well
We may falter in our dream,
We may lose hope and focus
But with one strong accord we will make
After this hazardous struggle,
Live will come to
norm again
When we will wipe our
tears our way
When all will have paved way for us
When cheers will reign again
Amidst jeers, we keep struggling
Through the thicket and happiness
The storm is over will once again be over.
If tomorrow never comes.
By Chebet Caroline.
If I may never live to face tomorrow,
My heart still loves you
My soul still craves for you
My longing for you will still be deep
If only I may never live to face tomorrow,
You may close your eyes,
And still see my image engraved
You might get in to a slumber
And still see my
smiling face,
You can still see my image in your dreams
Kissing you a good night as you sleep
And still feel my ‘good morning’ when you wake up
If tomorrow never dawns for me,
Know that I loved and cherished you
Know that I will never leave your world so void
But will always be with you
But if I face tomorrow,
Gives thanks to the highest and laugh,
Love and embrace me forever,
Kiss and wipe my tears away
For I am with You
For I have had a tomorrow to face.

If all the graveside wishes were to be granted,
Graveside tears tapped,
Graveside sorrows filed,
Graveside blames fixed,
Graveside gloom be approved,
Then,
The dead would rise and walk,
The tear tanks would overflow with tears,
The hearts would never numb with pain,
The blamed would forever be walking in the shadow of dead,
If all graveside wishes were to be granted,
Then death would loose its fight,
And cemeteries loosing its real meaning,
The red earth could remain unedited by graves
There would never have existed golden and wooden caskets
And painful tears remaining a told tale
If all the grand graveside wishes were to be fixed,
The brave could be braver than death,
The death would forever bow to the earthly circumstances
If all graveside wishes were to be granted,
There could be no immature and mature deaths,
There could never be rest from strain and struggle,
God could have exhausted his mercies in granting wishes to the crowded earth,
But then, all graveside wishes are never granted.
We mourn for you
By chebetcaroline
Daddy, we never knew that hell was breaking loose,
We never knew of the humongous flames,
That licked up your flesh reducing it to lifeless ashes,
Rendering us homeless and grieved with little baby sister amongst the many
We never knew of the chocking smoke,
That Mommy siphoned and left without a bye while looking for you
We never thought of the grieve to loom after you both left
We never knew of the awaiting mystery,
When I was gone to school,
I never knew that was my last time seeing you,
I never knew you were leaving,
I never knew we were to be orphaned with little baby sister,
Though the future seems dark,
With little baby sister’s pestering questions on your whereabouts,
I will try out an explanation that,
You are gone to sweet heaven,
I will try to tell her to learn the wise way of living as you had both said,
I will try to learn from the teacher,
And practice it in our daily living, I will try hard,
Though we will miss you,
We had never known of the disaster to struck,
We had never known of the angels, who wanted to take you from our view,
Through strain we will struggle.
As we gaze at the charred you through our blurred eyes and disintegrated souls,
We mourn.
