Life
Yeshiembet/Yeshi Gemaneh 1940 (Harar)
Life is a journey with interweaving threads:
It would be wonderful if floated smooth
Who would make the predication?
Yesterday vibrant and bright as morning sun
Today covered with dark clouds
Help me to understand if you have a clear way
My heart ached, my eyes soared
What good done that to me?
Soothing words comes to my ear
There is only one way to ponder it:
“It is okay”
PS. 23:6 “Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell
In the house of the LORD forever.”
