Analysis of I Often Prayed...
Rita Samayiyi 1983 (RSA)
I Often Prayed... that God would send me a partner who would be there for me.
God blessed me with you, I thank Him so faithfully. It took God some time to send me you but I learnt that patience is virtue.
Now I feel joy, warmth and peace like a dove,
Thanks be to God, I found my true love.
My love's name is Shakeen, that's who I wanted. I Often Prayed for a partner, and that, God has granted.
