This is the time of resilience
at 1 am in the morning Yemmerai asked to be taken to the clinic
she alone was let through locked gates by the security guard
at 5.30 am she had her baby boy – Tinashe (we are blessed by God)
at 2 pm she walked up the drive all smiles
and by 5.30 pm she had done her family’s washing

You’re a wonderful woman Bev and a Great Zimbabwean poet. Angels walk with you always.
