Quotes Say a word, That will change my life, That will erase the sorrow, That will cure the wounds, That will stamp out the pains, That will remove the scars, That will unfragment me, A word of love. Say a word, That will fill my heart, That will comfort me, That will rub the tears, That will moralize me, That will make me happy, That will satisfy my soul, A word of love. A poem on A word of love I heard you crying last night, I heard you whispering so touchfully, Unfortunately your tone is gone, I heard the words from your mouth, That you had lost a friend. It feels like the whole world is hating you, It feels like you have it on your shoulders, You keep on crying every day and night, Like you've been left all alone, It's so painful world that you're living in, That's what people keep on telling you. A poem on Don't weep anymore Twenty-four years have passed since I wrote “San Francisco” in my exercise book, and now I’m writing these words from the fifth floor of the Kimpton Alton Hotel in Fisherman’s Wharf. As local time approaches 10:30am, I’m aware it’s already 9:30pm back in Tanzania. I thought I’d write to you just briefly before you go to sleep. But I’ll have to hurry because as soon as it reaches 11am, I’ll be off to my next adventure—traveling the underwater rail tunnel that connects San Francisco to Oakland, or some other excursion. As I draft this post, I’ve already crossed over and sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge. I’ve climbed two hundred thirty-four steps, up thirteen stories, to the top of Coit Tower. I’ve circumnavigated Alcatraz, the infamous prison island in San Francisco Bay known as “The Rock.” I’ve seen the city from the front seat of a specially outfitted double-decker bus; traversed glorious hills; eaten tacos filled with fish, beef, and chicken; sipped some of the world’s tastiest cappuccinos; and strolled the grounds of the Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory. Most impressive of all, I’ve visited the legendary bookstore and publishing house of the same name: City Lights. Give it to me only, Don't let it to anybody else, You were born to be mine, God has given you to me. Love me so endlessly, You make me feel it, Take my heart with tenderness, You are always mine.
