Wingapo friends!

This blog is a little different.  I met an awesome friend in Chongwe.  She inspired me to write about her, but I didn’t want it to be normal.  I tried something new and wrote a poem.  Princess is a wonderful friend who wields her story to change the world instead of letting her story dictate her.  It is so common everywhere in life to see people take what life hands them, and accept that as their lot, but it is such a blessing to see people (anywhere) rise up and take charge of their future and to change their circumstances.

Princess

Regal

    Head held high

Noble

    Steps sure and light

I’m filled with my own authority

A ruler in my own right

These circumstances which tried hold me

Poverty

    It rules me

Grief

    It robes me

Sorrow

    It purposes me

These circumstances which adorn me

I rule them, whatever they may be

Queen

    Of circumstance

Princess

    Of chance

I am filled with my God’s authority

I am a child of the light
