Safira,
the
name
I
learned
in 2017
At
Serenje
Boma, 10
H
class,
you
walked
in
First
day
you
reported,
and
my
heart
was
gone
I
knew
right
then,
you
were
my
song
I
watched
you
walk,
I
heard
you
speak
My
spirit
heavy,
my
resolve
was
weak
I
kept
my
secrets,
I
kept
my
gaze
Lost
in
the
wonder
of
those
early
days
Three
years
I
tried,
three
years
you
said
no
But
your
kind
love,
your
honest
heart
won’
t
let
me
go 14
th
March
this
year,
we
made
it
true
Safira,
my
wife,
my
forever,
it’
s
you
Yeah,
the
road
was
long,
the
nights
were
cold
But
now
I
have
the
precious
story
to
be
told
Safira,
my
wife,
my
forever,
it’
s
you
I
remember
the
silence
in
the
afternoon
light
Praying
for
morning,
dreading
the
night
You
were
the
vision,
the
star
in
the
dark
Waiting
for
embers
to
catch
on
the
spark
Every
rejection
was
a
lesson
in
grace
Searching
for
solace
in
your
steady
face
I
didn't
know
if
the
time
would
align
But
darling,
I’
m
grateful
you’
re
finally
mine
Three
years
I
tried,
three
years
you
said
no
But
your
kind
love,
your
honest
heart
won’
t
let
me
go 14

my
wife,
my
forever,
it’
s
you
Through
every
wait,
through
every
prayer
Your
honesty
kept
me
right
here
Thank
you
for
loving
me,
honest
and
kind
Safira,
you’
re
the
peace
I’
ve
been
trying
to
find
It
wasn't
easy,
the
distance
was
real
But
you
taught
my
heart
exactly
how
to
feel
Now
we
walk
forward,
hand
in
my
hand
Building
a
life
on
this
beautiful
land
Through
all
of
the
shadows
that
life
might
cast
I’
m
holding
the
present,
I’
m
healing
the
past
You
are
the
anchor,
the
calm
in
the
sea
Safira,
my
love,
you
mean
everything
to
me
I
promise
to
honor,
I
promise
to
stay
Loving
you
more
with
each
passing
day
Three
years
I
tried,
three
years
you
said
no
But
your
kind
love,
your
honest
heart

With

Never
