Hold My Hand
A Poem by Joseph Kaifala
Hold my hand
And lead me down the
path
Where our love
endures forever
And wash away my
cowardly fears
As we gaze at the
setting sun
≈
Hold my hand
And be my unwavering
strength
When waves of life
attempt to sway me
For your love holds
firmer than levees
Even on quicksand
that slides beneath
≈
Hold my hand
My stunning angel of
dusk
And dilute my untamed
anxieties
As the sun dissolves
into sea
And the sky
overshadows their embrace
≈
Hold my hand
And whisper lyrics of
love
To harden my fragile
affection
And make us stronger
than the acropolis
With stone to
withstand time and weather
≈
Hold my hand
My beautiful lover
And align my steps
down the path
Where our love
extends
Like a distant
horizon

KATEHUN |
Motto: Goyia Loi Towa Bla-(Unity Divides The Pumpkin) |
KATEHUN (pronounced Ka-te-hun)-is a Mende word for a symposium or community center where disputes are settled. Everyone is permitted to make his/her case before a presiding chief in an open forum. On this forum, I write primarily for those who stand committed to the Rule of Law in Africa and to the value that our future is better determined by the government of the people, by the people, and in service for the people. To advance the African value of Ubuntu through International Law and the Principles of a United Nations, which propels us towards Life in Larger Freedom. |
