Khala esakho isginci
Wang'buka wahleka
Yini awung believe (chesa)
Akekho omunye
Nguwe wena wedwa
iEx yakho inebhadi
Slima ngempela
How could he let you go bedakwe yin ngempela
Ngempela ngempela (ngempela)
Ngempela ngempela (ngempela)
Ngempela ngempela (ngempela)
Ngempela ngempela (ngempela)
Ngathi ngak'bheka emehlweni
Ngavele ngabona uthando
Inhliziyo yami ikhetha wena (mm)
Amehlo am ajonge wena
Gcwala ngiyagcwala
Baby you're the one for me
Gcwala ngiyagcwala
Baby you're the one for me
Gcwala ngiya gcwala
Baby you're the one for me
Gcwala ngiyagcwala

A special young lady who lights up my life at the sound of her voice dedicated this song to me and she has no idea how much that means to me. My darling you will forever have a spot in my heart. Thank you for being who you are towards me and keep on being the sweet and beautiful person you are.

A poem for you -
CELEBRATING LEAH -
Leah the beauty that lights up every room,
Bringing laughter to every face she comes across,
Leah is a true Gem.
A bright star amongst a sea of stars,
Leah truly is the light in the darkness.
Ever pretty and looking dapper,
Leah truly is Miss Universe.
Her beauty would certainly bring sight to the blind.
Leah the Flame 🔥🔥🔥
