Nditaima pafupi ndi nyanja, matsenga ake amandikhudzanso. Ndikumva kukoka kwachinsinsi kwa mzimu wanga kumphepete mwa madzi, komwe kwakhala kulipo m'moyo wanga.

Ndimayamikira kwambiri mphatso zosawerengeka zimene nyanja imatipatsa—kukongola komwe kumatilimbikitsa, zosangulutsa zimene zimatitsitsimula, ndi zinthu zambiri zimene zimatithandiza. Kwa nthawi yayitali, tinkakhulupirira kuti nyanjayi inali yayikulu kwambiri kuti tilephera, kuti titha kutenga popanda malire ndikubweza zinyalala zathu popanda zotsatira. Koma tsopano tikumvetsa udindo wathu waukulu.

Ndine woyamikira kwambiri kuti nyanjayi imathandiza kwambiri kusintha nyengo, kutulutsa mpweya umene timapuma, ndiponso kuchirikiza zinthu zamoyo zocholoŵana zimene zimapangitsa dziko lathu kukhalamo. Kuthokoza uku kumandikakamiza kuchitapo kanthu, kupanga malingaliro, ndikupanga mayankho othandizira nyanja.

Ndikukupemphani kuti mugwirizane nane poyesetsa kuti nyanja ikhale yathanzi osati kwa ife eni komanso mibadwo ikubwera. Pakuti ngati nyanja ilibe thanzi, ifenso sitiri.
