In the midst of pain came strength
In tears came a smile
In a struggle came peace
In adversaries came a friend
In diseases came healing
In questions came an answer
In confusion came a reason
In noisy paths and situations came tranquillity
In despair came Mbali
A flower created to grow in me
A flower planted for change
You are to me a promise fulfilled
You are to me an answer to my every prayer
You are to me a story of sorrow turned joy
You are to me my every ounce of strength
You are to me the water that brings flexibility to my limbs
You are to me a tear turned laughter
You are to me the reason I strive to see the future
You are a weakness in me
You are flower made by hands of God whose roots resides in me
A flower that holds my every breath
In storms you came
You calm all the storms; winds and thunders in my life
You resurrected me, I thought all the good in life disappeared when God made me but you came and became all the good in life
Thank you for everything
Thank you for loving me
