FAREWELL
by Roxanna Aliba Kazibwe

Thank you for showing me how to dance in the rain
How to sing in a full train
Thank you for teaching me to write,
To share what I feel
to fight for what’s right
Thank you for sharing with me your dreams
For chit chat and big talk
Thank you for sunshine and daisies
Watching it rise and set
Watching them bloom and wither
Watching me watch them
I love you even with all the crazies
The crashings and disappointments
I love you even though it hurts
Even though my heart is breaking
Its pieces are loving you still

I love you when you’re making me smile
When you’re making me cry
When you’re making me sigh
With joy, with exasperation
With amazement, with frustration
I love you when you are comforting
Reassuring
Encouraging
Helping me stand
Helping me stay up

I…
