Hand-Picked By God

Marrying you is my biggest dream
When it will happen now I can’t see
In anticipation I wait 
Since our first date
I know with no doubt, that you’re my soul mate

I sit and think, another fantasy
Of different ways you’d ask “will you marry me”
Our own little house, kids running around
Each aspect of our future hand-picked by God

I don’t know when my hand in marriage you’ll ask
I want it to happen with my whole heart
I love you and each little part
Out of all the guys, you were hand-picked by God

I dream about it, sometimes night and day
And I know exactly what I’m gonna say
One thing I know is I can’t wait to see
That moment when you go down on one knee

Our little garden, kitchen and park
Each little part, hand-picked by God
Will it be months, years or days?
Right now I don't know, I really can’t say

Our future and each little part
Will be perfect as it is hand-picked by God
I’ll wait patiently until the moment arrive
When you finally get to call me your wife

I’ll embrace each little part 
Right from the start
Hand-picked by God

My Father's Heart

Hearing your heartbeat, my ear on your chest 
moments like that I loved best
For every heartbeat was special to me
'cause it meant my dad I still get to see

Then I went to bed that night
peacefully next door you were sleeping tight
I never feared lying in that dark room
knowing it will take only one shout and you'll be there soon

Waking up the next day, getting out of bed
I got done for work and that morning not much were said

I remember your words the previous night
"Leave her just now she'll be alright"
A worried mom kept asking what is wrong 
'Cause she didn't understand why I looked so down 

Off to the doctor you went that day 
and in hospital you had to stay
I prayed to God "please just let him be okay"

Hours have passed and your words got less
I told myself that you'll be fine after a couple of days of rest
I never prayed so hard
asking Him "please please just help him God"
I never stopped hoping and believing
That soon with my ear on your chest I will still hear you breathing

Seven days have passed, not a word from you
Imagining you waking up saying "I'm fine how are you?"
In the ICU lying with my ear on your chest
This time only small little breathes
I felt safe so close to your heart
That fatherly love my favorite part

Your words that previous Thursday night
"Leave her just now she'll be alright"
I never knew those words would be your last
'Cause a week after those words... Daddy, you've passed

Lying with my ear on your chest
The moments I used to love best
My world came crashing down
and that moment was never the same
'Cause that moment I realized that MY father's heart will never beat again

Breaking Free

I feel trapped in a shell and want to get out
It get so frustrating I want to shout
Trying to figure out what put me here in the first place
Before I leave this cramped little space

Not wanting to return to what put me here
Trying to avoid my constant fear 
Of people hurting me... 
Keeping me from who I want to be
I need to realize that I deserve the best
And no longer settle for anything less

I want to escape without looking back
I want to remain on a new solid track
Happy, without fear and totally free
The part of me I miss to be

How do I get rid of this shell?
Once upon a time I knew oh so well
But now I can’t seem to figure it out
Why, where, what is this all about?

Set me free for I am stuck
Praying hard for better luck
I need to escape, this overworked mind
I need to break out and need to unwind

For now all I can do is pray
That life works out in an amazing way
For now all there is to say
Is in this cramped shell,  I can no longer stay

Time to focus on me
Be all I ever wished to be
While I’m finally breaking free

'n Hart Van Goud

Ek was gevra om ietsie oor Pa te sê
Maar waar begin ek nou
Wanneer daar eintlik net een ding is wat ek nou wil doen
Om steeds my arms om Pa te vou

Maar nou is Pa weg
Na ‘n plek waar Pa tog graag wou wees
Bo by Liewe Jesus
Maar bly steeds hier by ons in gees

‘n Man met ‘n hart van goud
Wie slegs goeie dinge oor mense kon sê
‘n Bonatuurlike liefde vir ons 
En wie slegs die beste vir sy kinders wou hê

Streng het ons grootgeword
Maar dit was oor Pa lief was vir ons
En alles wat ek as Pa se dogter wou hê
Was dat ek Pa se hart van trotsheid laat bons

Nou is ons Pa en Ma se maatjie weg
Ons belowe om mekaar te ondersteun
En aan die herinneringe te hou van ‘n besonderse man
Wat God slegs vir ons kon leen

‘n Man met ‘n Hart van goud 
Dit is hoe ek Pa altyd sal onthou 
En nou is dit tyd om totsiens te sê
Al wens ek, ek kon steeds my arms om Pa vou 

*Dear PoetrySoup Members. I apologise to those of you who does not understand Afrikaans, but this poem is dedicated to a dear friend of mine who is Afrikaans. She told me a little bit about her father who recently passed on and I decided to put it together in a poem for her. I hope you guys do not mind. TS poetry was an absolute gem and translated what I wrote in my poem in his comment below. Thank you TS Poetry*

Granddad In Heaven

You left before you could meet them
"I want to live to see my grandkids" you’d say
Unfortunately you never got the chance
So let me introduce them to you today

There are three of them
Ages one, four and seven
A little boy and two little girls
Who call you their granddad in Heaven

The little boy is an architect at heart
A real clever little fella too
But what makes him really special
Is that he is the very split image of you

Your second grandchild is a little drama queen
Who loves singing, dancing and ballet shoes
A caring heart and entertaining character
Is what she inherited from you

Then there is the last little girl
With a spirit so completely free
Clever, entertaining, with a caring heart
You can call her grandkid number three

Three little kids
Different...yet so similar too
Because each little one
Inherited a character of you

They are such happy kids
Of whom you would be so proud
You will never be forgotten
Because we see you in these kids running around

The eldest often talks about you
The middle one does too
The little one does not talk as well just yet
But when she look at your pictures, she calls you granddad



*Dedicated to my father who passed on 8 years ago and never got to meet my sister's two kids and my daughter

One Day In My Shoes

If only one day you can feel what you put me through
Wishing one day you can walk in my two shoes

You will feel a pain like you never knew
Feeling cut by a million knives, not only a few
You will cry so many tears, you never knew you had
You will go through that day, constantly feeling sad

You will wish that you’ll stop feeling this way
Praying that this feeling only last for one day
You will feel a pain you can’t describe
You will look for places where you can go hide

You will send me a message and I won’t reply
You will keep on asking a million whys’
You will see me choosing other people over you
You will not understand what you are going through

You will see me disrespecting you, causing you so much pain
And your sunny days will be filled with rain
You will long for me and will feel no connection
You will look in the mirror staring at a broken reflection

You will feel all the hurt and it won’t bother me
You will wish what you go through I can only see
You will drive to me and I will treat you bad
And your sad moments will get more sad

You will think of me, wishing you can make it right
I wouldn’t want to talk things out and prefer to fight
You will feel how it cuts you to the core
Having that feeling that you are no longer adored

You will fight so hard for us, but will be fighting alone
While I’m in my “whatever” zone
You will see how I am being selfish 
Wanting me to change becoming your biggest wish

You will care so much and see how I don’t care
You will feel that this really isn’t fair
You will wish for that one day to end
And will feel like nothing your heart can mend

Never Stop Hoping and Believing

This is a poem 'bout those moments when you've had enough
and it feel like you get no answer from above
I know you're not where you wanna be
what the future hold you cannot see
It is all about hoping and believing
that soon you'll be living what you were once only dreaming

I know what you go through is frustrating as well
and those crazy days you feel locked in a cell
The anger, frustration, the "whatever I'm done"...
and you think you will never shout "oh yes I won"

Wanting to give up "who cares anyway?"
"Nothing was great bout this day" you say 
but never my dear stop hoping and believing 
that soon you'll be living what you were once only dreaming

You're strong and you will live your dream
even though impossible now it seem
Wait on God's time, He will give you the best
'cause God and I know you deserve nothing less

Smile be positive and always be you
tell yourself "with all negative I'm through"
And NEVER EVER stop hoping and believing 
that soon you'll be living what you were once only dreaming

I Will Always Be Me

I don’t have a lot of friends and some who isn't true
Some use me, some don’t care, even gossip about me too
But through all that no matter what was done to me by who
I always keep telling myself “never ever stop being you”

I’ll go out of my way for all, though they hardly ever see
But that will not ever keep me from always being me
I have lost so many friends for whom I truly cared
And just like that they decide to no longer being there

I don’t let their negativity affect me
The nasty words that may come from thee
What now and forever they will see
Is that I will always be me

The saying go: “you lose some you win some”
Who is meant to be in my life will come
Be unkind and don’t appreciate too
I can live my life without all of you
But one thing is for sure and all of you will see 
That no matter how hard you push me down
I am always gonna be me.

And to those who isn't true, I don’t need you anyway 
‘Cause the ones who love me dearest is the ones who get to stay
And to all who don’t appreciate, what I do for thee
Know that I will always be me 
And today from you I set me free

This Love Mom Has For You

Today you are 7 months
How quick the time has passed
The day you were born
Showed mom a different kind of love

You will never understand this love
‘Til one day you become a mother too
My Darling…you will then experience
This love mom has for you

Your smile lights up mommy’s world
In ways I cannot explain
My little bundle of perfect
Worth all the labour pain

I vow to always love you
On my knees for you I’ll pray
May all the happiness in the world
You’ll experience on your way

You will never understand this love
‘Til one day you become a mother too
My Darling...You will then experience
This love mom has for you
