When I Think Of You Poem by Mwihaki Kahiga

I smile every time you cross my mind,
Sometimes my lips show it,
Sometimes my eyes sparkle,
Sometimes hot tears roll,
Sometimes the cold shiver runs down my spine,
When i think of you.

The memories so sweet
Sometimes very sour,
Sometimes nostalgic,
Sometimes haunting,
Sometimes refreshing,
Sometimes overwhelming,
When i think of you.

Its hard to accept that i wasn't good enough,
That i wasn't worth being loved honestly,
That i couldn't mother your child,
That i wasn't worth the sacrifice,
That i wasn't worth fighting for
When i think of you.

Hope is beautiful,
Faith more pretty
That though its dry like a wilderness,
Though the path is non existent,
Though its dark and scary,
I still see your face shine on my path
When i think of you.

Its a miracle to find a soulmate,
I found one in you,
You are alive in my path,
Alive in my world,
You reign in absentia
And faithfully i pray and love,
When i think of you.

I smile every time you cross my mind,
Even though i cry, the smile overtakes me,
For you the love of my life,
The joy of my hay days,
You that i can be myself with
You live on in my being
Yes i smile in ways untamed
When i think of you.
