THE HOPE THAT CRIED ( A Poem)

When our love was so young 'n fresh

We blossom from the family tree

You implanted your seeds into my womb

I gave you five splendid sons

I loved you to the depth of my heart

Until my hope cried

You broke your vows

What did she has that I lacked?

Am I not a woman?

You promised to love only me

I have never known a man except you

You met me as a virgin, pure 'n stainless

Now that my bones are old- 'n' my skin withered

You married a woman among women

We've fought 'n we quarrelled,

With so many reasons to leave you

But I cling on you like a child

Behold in my spirit 'n patient

You made my legs your home

Until I am use to only you

Why should you abandon me with my children?

Please! 

For the sake of our children; don’t leave me

Don’t make me to regret ever loving you

Remember so many fine men proposed to me

With their cash and kind

 I rejected them all for you

I love only you until you have

You threw me apart 'n forgot you past

When you used to live from hand to mouth

Had I known, I would have left you the way you were

Now that I am an orphan

Have nobody else but you

You have chosen to ostracize me

You sank me further into my miseries

You precipitated me into worries

The Lord shall judge between us
