Reverend Kimpinde



How long is forever:
till death do us part?
 It is a calling,
a voice in your heart.

It is the silence
before us that's heard,
calling us quietly
a whisper is stirred.

We know that still voice
though doubt tends to fear
then we cover our face
for our Master is near.

About this poem

The poem speaks about a man who rose out of the ashes to answer the calling of God. He had to go through great hardship to do so and his journey is still arduous.
