I awoke to find you next to me
On a cold September morning
I pushed your damp hair from your face
And I began to sing you a morose lullaby
I said 'Darling, don't you worry.
Everything will be all right
I'll be with you again at the end of my days
And we'll laugh and play in the night.'
'Don't worry, my precious.
Time will soon pass
People will die and people will cry
But it is you and I who will have the last laugh.'
'Don't fret, my dear one.
Ignore harsh words from my kin.
I will always be your little toy doll
And you will forever be my sin.'
I live in Africa, where parents only allow their daughters to date people they think belong to certain tribes they term as good. Any trive other than those they have endorsedb will surely bring the relationship to an abrupt, painful end. You hit the nail right on the head. We should love those we do, no matter who seeks to separate love. well done.
