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
