I Was Blind, But Now I See

I was blind
I say again I was blind
But now I see.

I lived in a world were…
We would see the front cover
But never the whole story
Only getting half of the truth

When I met you everything changed
I listened to your story
As you spoke, I felt your pain
And my heart for a moment

Broke with yours.
How could they? How can someone
Do that? Why would they?
A Million questions raised in my mind.

My heart boiled with hatred
Against them, my heart burning
For justice. I try to make sense of it
But it has no sense, it just insanity.

All I could give this perfect stranger
Was words of comfort, love
And hope

Love that was not mine
Hope from all high
I gave her the Love of Christ
I gave her greater hope
In a better tomorrow
I gave what I had,
I gave her Christ.

I was blind
But now I see.

My name is kindness shikwambana, I was born and raised in South Africa. If i had one word to describe myself it woud be kind, that pretty sums it up. I have love food, my friends can testify on that believe me. One of the things I most love doing is meeting new people even though im pretty shy at times. Getting to hear, learn and building friendships. One of my highest value is family.
