My thatch house

"suffering"

My thatch house is slowly coming apart.

The roof is deteriorating.

Even though I renew the grass,

I wish God could provide me with an appropriate job.

I wish I was able to construct a modern home.

I'm suffering in this house.

Every time it rains,

My house links.

Water falls from the thatch roof.

Right to my head.

I constantly change sites.

Why am I still alive?

Why don't I die?

The riddle of my life.

Is it true that God cares for me?

Oh yes, I guess he does.

God keeps renewing my strength.

God grant me tranquility. 

Every time I plan to end my life,

I am putting my trust in God.

He keeps me safe inside this same house.

I'm still alive today because of God.
