So when you lay your head down at night
You have no awareness of just how very right
You have made my troubles to be ignored

 

 

 My friend, my confidante, my warrior King

   By Roxann "Kujitua Baraka" Latimer Dadzie 

When the world seems against me, your smile I see
When I'm tired, stressed and lonely, your vibe chills me
In the wanting and the waiting for life's degrees and ways
It's in your eyes far from mine, that I can see brighter days

So when you lay your head down at night
You have no awareness of just how very right
You have made my troubles to be ignored
And made my heart sing and my spirit soar

You are my friend of that I am so sure
Our love abiding and will endure
These distances not far but near
Cause it's your heart I always hear....
