While I breathe I hope 
While the clock ticks, I hope 
While the birds sing, I hope 
What is good for Greece is also good for Uganda, 
Just because I carry it so well doesn't mean it's not heavy
It is, 
I'm blessed I know, 
And I am not stopping here 
A pause I need 
Maybe a resting place along the river side 
Where I can bleed my thoughts in black and white
Many a time my poems I write
Sometimes lessons of life 
My growth, my trial, my Error
They all bleed through my ink.
While they bleed I hope 
While I tour in thought I hope 
I truly hope that one-day  
I'll be out of the River with fishes 
Not just wet legs.
