WAIT A BIT MORE

When sadness like darkness over shadows me

Bring me your light to read like a resume'

Squeeze my bitterness without pity or mercy

Give me a helping hand that I could fight retreat

Please, pay me, all to me you owe

So, I could from all that loved me find hope

Tell them, to them alone I owe dearly

Since, now that to them I am leaving so early.

If death is creeping fast and readily to run

Wouldn’t you help me with wings to fly at once?

If like cutlass, sadness cuts me deeply

Give me solace to bear the pains patiently

When my blood runs too fast as riots

Wouldn’t you stretch forth your arms as succour?

Now that from all, far and near, no grace is abound

In this, I implore you to kindly create one

That, I may at the end owe my reverence to you

For death has been swung haplessly like a danger hook

If death, like a drunk bites me at the back

I pray for so short a time its bitterness lingers

When at once, sorrow spit profusely into my face

And the stars of fortune refuse to light up grace

If troubles like hurricane pour dust into my eyes

I wish your hands will be there to protect me from high

If by noon, hardship squeeze me like an angry sponge

Give me the resilience to be rescued from the brunt

Please, show me unreserved kindness always

To keep me going, even after the hope has failed
