NOW I FEEL ALIVE AGAIN!

Kennedy Mwangi 1998 (Nairobi)



I was drowning in my own doubt, but you came along and gave me total assurance.
I was choking on my own frustrations, but you came along and eased my heart.
I was curled up like a leaf in autumn, but you came along and breathed life back into me.
I was frozen in my own river of thoughts, but you came along and thawed me with your warm words.
I was trapped in a life of despair, but you came along and revived my expectations.
I was a captive of my own despondence, but you came along and rescued me and now I'm free.
I was at the verge of giving up, but you came along and gave me a reason to keep going.
I was in need of some loving, but you came along and overflowed my heart with wonder.
