WATER MY DRY WOMB
For so long i had longed to bore a seed of my own.
Lamenting and yearning for a manly sweet leaf to water my womb and nourish the seed of my pot.
Oh! Lord! How long shall i weep my armour out?
Oh! I am like a valley without water
My dessert is so dry - Like a plant longing for rain
I am longing for a palm to call my own
How long shall i wait for my womb to carry a term?
For so long i have been waiting for my tree to bore seeds
I have long been praying and my heart is put to shame.
How long shall i crack in tears?
How long shall i wait with no rush?
Oh! Lord! I'm just a maiden whose womb is as dry as a dessert.
But God! How long shall i pray for a drop of water to fill up my empty pot?
How long shall i embark on this dry winter?
How long shall i wait for a spring season so i can witness the fruits of my own?
Father! How long?
