Kenya
Do you still remember?
Do you remember when hours were seconds to us
When we help hands and took long walks
When we spent our days in the warm sunshine
When rain got us in bed cuddling
Do you still remember?
Do you remember?
The dreams you dreamt
How the sun was bright at the tunnel
How we were sharing smiles with our daughter and son
How we counted happiness like one two three
Do you still remember?
Do you still remember?
How our love was strong
How you praised my ribs for you were among them
How laughter was our food
For food never lacked in our home
How during day we took nature walks
And how we slept long hours
Do you still remember?
Do you still remember?
During all our given celebrations
Our anniversary, birthday and victory
Do you remember New Year eve how we spent sharing smiles
How we missed each other when not in sight
Do you remember?
My shining star
Do you still remember?
The breeze of love and care that was
The touch of cherishment and treasure that took us far
The victory that we got from fighting
The promises that sharpened us to beat the hard
The promise you made when you were happy and sad
The vow you made and we prayed about it
When you said, “I will forever be yours” you did say it
I have never forgotten
Do you still remember
