I never know what to do
Unless,I find someone to comfort me
I am looking for the vaccine
For someone should give me


Out of nowhere
I saw a young girl moving towards me
Talking to me kindly
As if I am her child

Within years,we got married
And swore to each other to be faithful,and love ourselves forever till death do us apart.

During my wife's burial
I stood,looking at the corpse
Looking at the woman who loved me,nor left me for another man

I stood weeping for my wife
The mother of my children
Then I nodded and understood the meaning of life and the meaning of love.
