Warrior is a woman By Asiimwe Sam RUHINDI
🎶warrior is a woman woman, warrior is a woman 🎶
🎶warrior is a woman woman, warrior is a woman 🎶
🎶warrior is a woman woman, warrior is a woman 🎶

Every year we celebrate heroes yes world heroes
But there are some left unrecognized
The ones who fight lifetime battles
Yes the women our mothers


🎶warrior is a woman woman, warrior is a woman 🎶
🎶warrior is a woman woman, warrior is a woman 🎶

She sacrifices her life to keep her family moving
She does every kind of work from cheap to most classic
She will be called all sorts of names but will stay quiet
She gets cheap job but she goes on
🎶warrior is a woman woman, warrior is a woman 🎶

She spends sleepless nights fighting with her drankard husband
But in the morning she dresses her smile again
And neighbors be like mwaramutse she be like namahoro
But deep inside her heart she is bleeding suffering from hidden wounds
🎶warrior is a woman woman, warrior is a woman 🎶

She gets dumped buy his husband after days and nights of lemons and onions
She goes out on street
And out of shame her ex husband start saying
She was a slut I’ve been helping her
But she bares all the pain
As she discovers her self again

🎶warrior is a woman woman, warrior is a woman 🎶

TODAY IS YOUR DAY

                                         

I think about the time, not so long ago

That when ever I needed a helping hand

You always offered one.

When ever I needed a friend you were the best always

Your winsome smile has been my light

 

It seems like yesterday

How we were pretty little song birds

How we used to dance amaganda together

Worrying nothing about the future

As we were young and innocent

But today is your day

Today the two of you have said goodbye

To spinster and bachelorhood

it’s the day every girl dreams of

And every man lives to celebrate

And even wishes to his children

Today is your day.

My love as you walk your man down the aisle

To show him to your parents and friends

Turn back and flash that winsome smile

That you always wore

Let everyone know and feel it that…….

Today is your day.

I was a prince and you were the princess

But today you’re the queen coz you found your king

And am still the prince…..

Today is your day.

Your care and love to me and big brother

Is so deep like a mothers love to her child

Your advices has made us stay strong and courageous

Your sacrifice as you pray for us is incomparable

Your smile takes away my grief always

All my life you’ve an angel and you’ll always be.

I cant talk about friendship because it’s all that we have

Oh what a life to live

What bond that we share.

Your fight was my fight

And every time that I was down

You’d always get my feet back on the ground

Today is your day.

You’ve been a spiritual mother to many

But today you’ve opened the doors to your biological children

Oh wow how blessed they will be to call you mom

Just like how your spiritual children have been

Today is your day

Today your man is the richest no because he

Owns fancy things in the world

But because he won the heart of the most

Pretty lady in the world and today he marks

His greatest achievement

Today is your day yes it is you day

How I will miss those endless stories

The evening selfies  we always took

The shortest texts at the middle of the night saying hi

And how in the morning you always asked me

If I was dreaming about you or had a night mare

Kana kamamawowebwizabudashir’irorankuratenkuratirande

Kuwonakakuratiyeyagukunzecyera

Rekankuratenkutoneshemaze azagukunde

Agukundwakazeakurutisheabandi.

My love hold every memory as you go

When you miss me cry not as our bond is unbreakable

My heart will always beat  where your heart will be

And my smile is still your smile

Today is your day

Before I leave the stage and turn back the pages

Of the poem allow me to tell you something

Special I always told you

I LOVE YOU yes I LOVE YOU

Today is your day Peace.

I was a prince and you were the princess

But today you’re the queen coz you found your king

And am still the prince…..

Today is your day.

DEAR GIRLS

DEAR GIRLS BY ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

                               

                                  

 We are really blessed to

you always make our days

Have you by  our side

But I need to ask you a favor, warning

It’s about the words you call boys

Yes sometimes you might be

Kidding but sometimes kidding

Turns into reality.

Dear girls

Every boy is not

A creepy manhore

Player or womanizer

And many more you know them

Just like how back

In my junior & high school days

In my sweet teenage hood

Girls used to call boys

I know we are not perfect

Sometimes we might  not mean our words

But we are not born that way

We are born to be brave and loving

Responsible and caring

Do you remember your first love

During your teenage hood

The promises you made and

How you broke them just

In a blink of an eye?

Because your eyes fell

For that nice guy you

Then called mr perfect  and

Later dumped you

Harya ngo abumwe agatukisha bose

Am so mad at this saying like real mad

My Goodness he is one in a million

Not a million in one

Please have sense of understanding

Do you remember the guy you had

Turned into your ATM machine

Every time you needed money he was always ready

And just because one day  he

Failed to control his feelings and

Reached down your pants makes you

Shout out to the world

Dear girls I want to ask you

A favor to help you small sisters

And your future daughters not

To call boys players..creepy because they aren’t.

ODE TO OUR HEROES

ODE TO OUR HEROES BY ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

Bene kanyarwanda do you remember
The nights of trembling
The days of ichor
And the world of tears.

The truth became lies
The lies took the throne
Forests sheltered us
And also fed us.

Killing was more than a game
Holding amachet was a pleasure
Betraying a friend was Joy and
Nights were short to the hunted.

The world kept a deaf ear
Watching carelessly yet they said
Love is the way and answer.

Your great sons and daughter
Never torolleted with situation
They sacrificed their lives
To bring light out of the darkness

Today what was aruin is a family
We all have awarm smile on our faces
We have a place we proudly call
Our home our mother land.

Their sacrifice was the cost
Of peace,unity,development we have today
Their patriotic spirit is our light every day
And always warm in our vains.

Their work is uncomparable
The land of thousand hills that was full of darkness
Is now a shinning star
That is lighting for the world

We your grand children
We want to keep your legacy alive
That's why we bid together in one
Umbrella ubutwari

We walk under the name Intore
Ubunyangamugayo is our motto
The spirit they left
Wont be forgotten.
