Then She Came Along Poem by Wensislaus Mbirimi

I met many girls in my life
None could be my wife
I wanted a woman
A true African woman
All I could find were mere imitations
All they could offer were mere pretensions
I thought I was destined to be alone
Then she came along

She is my dream, my ideal
Who put me through the ordeal
Of courting her for years
Imagine my happiness when she said yes
I used to be bad, mad and a sinner
Now with her my life is cleaner
Doomed bachelor I thought I was
She came along and I knew I never was

For her I will climb the highest mountain
For her I can endure any pain
She has my heart, my mind and my soul
Share life with her is my goal
Go away you pretender
I now have found the contender
The loneliness I used to feel
Went when she came and it's real
All searching & looking I put away
Now that she has finally come along to stay
