Mum Asked Me Write Something Dedicated To Charl
In these uncertain times seemingly
ever harder to predict and navigate
what on earth we are about to be hit
with or be faced to deal with next
It's nice to know there are something's
we can still reply upon seldom never
change remain the same and in doing
so keep us sane
Like you Charl my friend who I have
come and got to know since you
we're that little boy in short pants
at school my mother took to her heart
Loved reggae and came with us on
holiday to Durban , you who when
we went to the bowling club for
breakfast started cleaning up the plates
The poor boy that went to church who
they then dismissed and all looked
down there nose's at
As they did not or were unable to
without giving you a chance based
solely on judging a book by its cover
Never got to see or witness just how
good and massive heart you indeed
possess
Well that's their loss shame on them
Because if they had they like I would
have found someone who is in essence
selfless possess the gift of humility
in spades
Has a kind heart and treats
people with respect and a has a
caring emotional nature
That is why I see you not as merely
just a friend but rather as an extended
member of my family and not only me
but so does my mom as well
And once again hopefully I pray this
fact above all else will remain in tact
for many a long year to come
Long after you're pant need turning up
and reggae comes back in fashion
Any fool can write , quote and utter
word's in order to gain favor despite
them being inherently fake so have
no meaning at all
If actions not word's be the grade to
distinguish and benchmark one's character
upon
Then I have seen enough of you in action
over these past many a year to know one
thing for certain and sure
You Charl are one of those rare few
good truly genuine people in life if
you come across and get to know
You should count and thank your
lucky star's blessed to have met
