A prayer answered

To my beloved Sizwe

Summoned by her supplications so sad
Celestial beings in heavenly spaces
Gathered, they contemplated and conferred
On ways to brighten up her darkened places

In childhood her delightful world upturned
Tumbling through her bruising adolescence
Only Loves nectar could quench her heart parched
Countless prayers receiving no response

But her conclusion was amiss, indeed
Her persistent prayers had ascended
Reached and pierced the heavenly realms. Her need
Pierced God’s heart, around her angels gathered

The Cherubs toiled in a labour of love
And they delivered her bundle of love
