Don'T Worry! Poem by Siyabonga A Nxumalo

Don'T Worry!

Rating: 4.3


Those big round eyes
Sticks to me as i move around.
Her young and sweet voice
Echoes in my ears as
I drive away.......

Dust covers my tracks,
When she is standing there
At the gate....starring....
Starring at the car getting
Smaller and smaller....
As her tears wet her cheeks
Dropping one by one....

Don't worry my love....
Daddy will come back home.

She doesn't understands, why?
Why papa leaves?
Why he doesn't stay with me?

Doesn't he love me anymore?

Don't worry my love....
Daddy's just gone hunting....
Hunting for a better life....
Hunting for success....
Your success.

Those big round eyes
Will spot him first
On his return day.

Your sweet melodic voice,
Is all i'm craving..

Don't worry Khethelo....
Papa loves you dearly!


Khethelo is my two year old daughter's name..

Eish bra Siya_ This one is really provoking my emotions, the things we sometimes have to live behind, just to make sure you bring in your hand bread, for your child to eat, honestly I really admire the way in which you still keep in mind your kid, unlike many that never come to think of their kids, you still keep her in your thoughts, and for that reason she will grow with much understanding, Wonderful Bra.... So Brilliant! The_African_Son

What a touching poem! It makes me think of the millions of people who can't have the joy of watching their kids slowly growing only because they work too hard, too long or too far... Great poem, give a hug from us, her uncles and aunts from around the world, to sweet dear Khethelo.Thank you!
