Unconditional

For so many years you been there for me
A souls connection which allowed me to just be
You understood me from beginning to end
You were one in a life time, my best friend 

We have shared so many moments together during your earthly life
The pain of loss is cutting like a sharp knife 

I find myself sometimes staring at where you would be
Waiting to share your unconditional love with me
Your great presence somewhere around playing hide-and-seek 
A comforting spirit allowing me to peak 

I miss your gentle soul in my presence
You helped me keep 'sane' in times I felt resistance 
I knew i had borrowed time with you
I tried to embrace every second of my life with you too

I'm left now with only memories of us
Feels like my soul's on a hop-on-hop-off bus
In search of you to fill the emptiness you left in my heart
We were soulmates from the start

When the sky becomes dark 
and star so bright
I think of you knowing I'm in your sight
With your support, understanding and unconditional love shining as the star's light
I'll forever hold you close to my heart, 
Squeezing you tight.  

With Valentines Day tomorrow we are celebrating love
 light a candle and set our love free like a white dove
Celebrating what we had fitting like a perfect glove
Forever soulmates with unconditional love

Vriendskap

Gewoonlik is my boundaries sterk 
Word ek assigned deur guidance met a Engels'vlerk
My journey neem langer en my sielsnare word gevleg
My boundaries raak flexible en a unieke konneksies word aanmekaar geheg
A journey het ontwikkel in a vriendskap so eg
Dit gaan my verstand te bowe want dis so opreg

God praat in a taal 
Wat ons laat stil staan
Aandagtig in afwagting laat luister
Na Sy liefdestaal wat Hy in ons harte fluister

God wil my wys ek is gebless
Sag en delikaat word ons 'gepress'
Hierdie keer is ek uitgebole vir a ses
Soms moet ek relax, let go en vergeet van die res
Hierdie is wat God vir my skets om te besef...

A vriendskap gestuur van Bo
A konneksie met frekwensies watse sein nie verloor 
God het ons gebless met baie in stoor 
A hegte band in ons harte in geboor

In a droom staan ek buite my liggaam en staar
Na a sielskonneksie so raar
A Visie in die droom omvou my om te aanvaar
God se tyd en redes is set in stone en klaar

Ek word gewys
ek is besig om op a deurskynende glasbord te skryf 
Met rooi cokie en merke soos ek uitvee en oor die bord vryf...
jy kom met jou blou cokie aan 
Help my met die organogram en teken a traan...
Verward staan my siel en kyk en wil net nader gaan... 
Let op na die stilte, die konsentrasie en vloei
Saam vorm ons die kleur op die bord wat gloei
In a moment kraak die glas in a spiderweb form...
Begin ons huil soos  a raining storm

Verward staan ek en kyk en vra Here wat nou???
Als was so spontaan hoekom kan dit nie aanhou???

Ek kry a duidelike antwoord wat van langs my af kom
Dink aan die visie...
dit slaan my stom...

A deurskynende glasbord so sterk en skoon
Maar wat is die doel as daar nie a boodskap in kleur vertoon
sonder kleur geskryf is die glasbord doelloos
Die 'smutch' merke op die bord is van gebeure in die lewe wat jou laat bloos
Die traan word vasgevang in die spiderweb
om jou te herinner julle is daar vir mekaar in die scattering moments of life in 'flashing' red
Live your life met veelvoudige pret.

Dreams Vision

When you dream about a connection
You wake up realizing God works within perfection
A dream where you witness everything so intense 
Viewing situations from a spiritual lense

An intense sense of tears connected to different emotions 
Sending my spirit in to a commotion 
Having an exact explanation of someone's health... 
What's ahead in the journey of wealth 

An awakening from dream to reality in flash
Confirmation comes through like a cold water splash 

You are placed there to give a touch of comfort 
Walking a journey providing support 
A calling unique to your life in that sort 

A humble heart of appreciation for the people in my life
The opportunities crossing my path 
A passion I live and calling I strive

Anything Possible

Sitting in the morning hours
Thinking of your almighty 'powers'
Lord you are the ONE who can really make a difference 
Without any preference 
What You want will happen 
You'll touch our hearts 
Prepare the way 
For us to do your work to stay.

Friendship Appreciation

Friendship doesn't always mean having contact daily
But yet it's like the calcium in your dairy
It strengthens the core of your body
It is there to prevent you from braking

Hearing your voice 
makes my heart rejoice
I'm counting my blessings at that moment

The smile I do get to see once in a blue moon
Can reflect a message like your eyes, 
The windows to your soul...

The sound of your laughter echos in my mind
My eyes shares the prescious tears of joy, sadness, hardships and victories. 

You have a place in my heart that will forever only be yours
A spot that only your uniqueness can fill

THANK YOU for being my friend!

Bucket full of tears

A mind so busy
My eyes are fuzzy
My gates seems rusty
My soul a bit frenzy...

... A bucket full of tears...

Each moment in life 
Creates memories we strife 
A tear of joy or sadness 
I'm forever fearless 
With a satisfied fullness 
Thanks to God's greatness

But deep down my soul 
Is a bucket full of tears like a shoal 
A tear for each 
Fighting spirit's hindrance 
Touching & humbling experience
Last moments with loved ones
Life in it's fullness that comes in tons

Soulful friendship

A friendship is a bond...
A deeper connection of two souls...
A person who is always there to answer a call
Support, listen and advice
A shoulder to cry on...
There to lean on...


A friendship means continuous unconditional love, support, laughter and memories...

Most of all...  accept you just as you are. 

A journey not to walk alone.

Motherly Aunt

A mother 
A carer
An aunt she might be 
A growing bond like a best friend is what she is to me

A warm and comforting heart of love and care
A strong personality that would take on a dare
Reflects as inspiration in her glare

Footprints I will follow as it guides me a far 
Shadow I want to live in as unique and bright like a star

I might not be there physically today
Celebration of my two favourite people's birthdays - 
HOORAY!
Wishing you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Letting Go

The feeling of letting go...
Letting go of what became the new norm
Letting go of my recent familiarities
Letting go of work which I live for at the moment
Letting go of control of what I seem to feel I have under control
Letting go of that comforting feeling of friends being in the surrounds...

Then I come to the realization I need to breath...

I now need to let go of my anxiety 
I now need to let go of my control 
I now need to release what's holding me back 

I am welcoming my life I have 
My wife and children awaiting me in anticipation 
The fresh air and beauty of nature.

Admiration of Appreciation

In the quietness of the night
I can hear my heart beating just right
In the dark you are my souls light
Thinking of you my vision at first sight

Your imprint on my heart leaves an everlasting trace
Not to mention the smile on my face
God has blessed me with you through His Grace
With you in my life I will run the race
Whatever it takes even at your pace. 

A moment in heaven is what I experience with you
Wish you could experience my heart to have a clue
My love for you as strong as super glue!
