When I’m caught within the floods of sorrow,

Your love delivers me and sets me free,

When I’m chained within pangs of lack,

Your love showers me with abundance of life.

When I’m caught within the floods of sorrow,

Your love delivers me and sets me free,

When I’m chained within pangs of lack,

Your love showers me with abundance of life.

Letter XVII

Dear Rosalina,

‘Caught out in the rain’ by Beth Hart, I have been listening to this song for a whole week. You should find time to listen to it. It reminds me of the moments when we would let the rain shower us without caring. Those days are still in my mind like yesterday. People used to think we were just young couples who have been confused by affection, but what they didn’t know is, that was just the beginning of us. I still recall when one of my friends, Fred asked me why I had let love take the course of my life. I wanted to answer him, but I realized that those who have never tasted love, even if they are given a lesson about love, they will never understand. I only told him to be in love, then he will be in a position to ask me that question.

Yesterday, I went to visit my friend David. His health has been deteriorating for two months now. He has colon cancer. He is worn out my Love. When I saw him, my eyes were filled with tears. I couldn’t fathom the pain he was going through. His family has spent every coin they had. His wife and the two children are worn out too from the stress the pandemic that has befallen them. The doctors told him he has left a few weeks before he is gone to be with the Lord. I wish I could help him, Love. Do you remember he was the first person to endorse our relationship when everyone thought we were just kids trying to play games of love? He stood with us when our parents wanted to break us apart.

I told him that it is gonna be fine. That the Lord will heal him, but I am afraid my Love, he may leave this world soon. He may leave his little children while they still need him. I am worried, my Love; please, would you tell me that it will be okay for him. Please, find time to pray for him. He has always been a good friend to us. A mentor, we have always looked upon.

I love you, Till next time.

      

You are a sanctuary whose priest I know not off,

But one thing I know; you are made of love,

And every day, I will surrender my soul to you,

And my whole being will worship in the myriad of your love.
