I ask of you

I ask you not to cry for spilled water

It’s better to cry over dirt water

When the day passes it will be crystal clean for you to drink

 I ask you not to cry over burnt branches of trees

Cry for the wet branches of trees because when they are dry you can make fire and cook

Don’t ever cry for something lost

Better to cry for the one you will soon find

Maybe it’s a blessing you lost it

I am aware it’s hard to lose something

Have you ever questioned why do you move on after a loss

It’s because in this earth lessons are from losses and hardships

Life must have a lesson so we able to teach the future generation

I beg you not to come to me and say you lost something

It will be as if I am being hard on you when I say you are lucky you will receive something better

Never cry when people leave you

In-fact they are being removed for a good purpose in your life

I recommend when they leave

Burn fire and braai meat

If you are a drinker buy alcohol and have a party

You will be surprised when you receive something much better

Do not play with hardship and sorrow

Save your tears for something that  will uplift your life

Tears of joy is all you must have

Do me this mercy cry for joyful things not hardship and loss
