This song was my mom's prayer since I was a little girl, she suffered from acute asthma and later developed heart problems. Her prayer was that I get to the age of 12 and the Lord could take her. This year, a day before I turned 35, she passed on from heart failure. I thank God for allowing my mom to have lived 3-fold of what she had asked for from God. Though she had a poor quality of life due to her health, she was a brave heart who put up a fight right until her last breathe. I miss you mai vangu, my heart is broken, I don't know how to deal with you death.
There was blind man who used to live in Entumbane, Bulawayo, a friend both to Paul Matavire and my dad. His blindness was hereditary and his son, Ngoni, was blind too. One day akarohwa nemagetsi very badly, he was paralysed. I would go with my dad kunomuona and sometimes Paul Matavire would be there. The words that Matavire sang are those of the paralysed blind man who used to make a living out of weaving baskets at Jairos Jiri but now couldn't even wash himself. He wished he could survive until his son is able to fend for himself. However all the three, Baba Ngoni, Matavire and my dad have passed. May their souls rest in peace.
My grandmother raised me and my sister since Mom left when I was 5 months old. She used to play this song and hug us tight. I am glad she is still alive in my 25th year on earth. Thank you Gogo nekuti rera..
This used to be my mother's prayer when she suffered a stroke 24 years ago and I was only 8 years old. Faithfuly God responded to her plea and healed her. . 24years later she's is growing strong and a grandmother to my children...
This song takes me back to 2002 when my father was very sick and we were too young to be left without a father figure i was 8 and my little bro was 2 There was no hope to life of my dady bt the last gift he did was to ask my most to go and have a civil wedding just to protect our house from cruel and heartless uncles. He passed on just one week after the wedding. My mom was able to protect our house and im so proud that my dady did this. I feel like he was in the same state of this song. I become so emotional wen im listing to this song Damn im even crying like now Love you FATHER ALWAYS HOPE TO C U AGAIN and tell hw proud iam

This song reminds me of my husband who passed away in 2009. His wish was to see our children grow and work. He felt his death and it was so painful. The lyrics penetrate with pain into my heart. R IP my beloved husband. Our children are doing great. You will always be missed
Still listening, October 2020...Being a single mum of my 2 girls, 14 and 8, this is my prayer everyday. Vanoita sei nhai ndikanzi ndafa? Dai Mwari vandichengeta at least ndigovasiyawo vapedza school. I look at them while they sleep and the thought of me dying breaks me. No child should bury his/her parent💔
