I may not show you how much I care –
But I do.
I may not tell you often enough
How much I love you
Yet, you are my world.
We may not talk each day
Nor see each other very often,
But I carry you in my heart wherever I go.
You may not always understand
Why I do the things I do,
Walk the path(s) I walk,
But that’s ok – I still love you.
When I miss you,
I close my eyes and I can feel your presence,
Hear your laughter,
See your smile(s),
Remembering precious times spent together,
Knowing that on this crazy journey of mine,
We will see each other again.
Until such time
Know this –
No matter where you are,
What you do,
I will be watching over you.

I miss you.
I love you.
And I always will.

To Die Or Not To Die

We are born
To die
Eventually
Some sooner than others
But we all die
This is the circle of life.
Death comes in many forms
Unexpected
Mostly without warning
But that is just how it is –
We all die.
Death seems to be
The ultimate sleep
For the weary
Mind, body and soul.
We all die
Sooner or later.

Opgedra aan My Dogter Danette Van Wyk

More is nog n Dag

Dae
Maande
Jare ...
Tyd het geen genade nie.
Jy is nie meer hier nie.
Jy kom nooit weer terug nie.
My siel skree!
Waarom?
Lasarus het opgestaan uit die dood.
Hoekom nie jy nie?
Soms hoor ek nog jou stem
Voel jou liefdevolle aanraking
Ruik jou soet geur van jasmyn ...
Maar jy is weg!
En die wysertjies van tyd
Tik ongenadiglik voort
Dit is sieldodend.

Ek bere weer die seer -
Die verlange-
More is nog ‘n dag ...
