In His Time Poem by Achieng' Ochieng'

It has been the longest and toughest road I've ever had to travel
A journey that I took believing I knew my destination, only to find myself in the woods, alone
Where the two reassuring voices, urging me on, suddenly became one voice; my voice
And it became a lone, painful journey!
How I wished you walked with me
How I wish you told me when the wind blew too hard for you to bare
How I wish you told me when the heat and fatigue of travel weighed you down
How I wish you told me when you decided to retreat
I could have stopped walking and talking and stretched out my helping hand,
I could have listened,
I could have had a reason not to go on yet, but hold on!

How you broke my heart you will never know
How I wish I could burry every pain and heart ache
Just to have a genuine smile on my face,
Just to laugh when that laughter comes from the deepest part of my soul
Just to walk with my head held high knowing my spirit is equally high
Just to look at you and not dropp a tear!

Unfortunately,
That pain has slapped off the smile I once had
The heartache has consumed every bit of energy within me and left me frail
The silence has created a home for loneliness in my life
The thought that you took it all for granted has tried to kill the hope of the love
I so longed to share

Fortunately,
I have always believed in it
It gives meaning to every aspect of life
No matter how long it will take,
I will wait for that God given chance,
For it was always in His plan, right from creation,
To create the perfect Love
He will make this heartache, pain and frustration slowly fade and eventually disappear
And in His time,
He will create a brand new Love to be shared, and a new smile
Shall be born
