Mothers

MOTHERS:

All they ever do is raise.
And never stop to praise.
They always seem to care.
And never once you find them tear.
No matter how much we do them wrong.
They always love us as their favourite biltong.

They’ll always have golden hearts.
And make sure you miss their parts.
Never once they tell a lie.
Unless it’s to protect your eye.
You won’t need to stand in a line.
Course maybe you’re kind of pine.
I promise you once she’s ready,
She’ll be the perfect remedy
                                            
                                                                           APHIWE MKHWANAZI (15)

The Accident

Now it seems like the past
So quick so fast 
Left no chance to say goodbye
I no longer soar so high
Sometimes I wish it was just a lie
And they would all come back 
And have my back
Throw my sorrows into a sack
Save me from any attack

Now it seems like the past 
So quick so fast 
It took all my loved ones away 
And left me fading away
They have disappeared into different places 
Now I’ll never see those faces
For they have lost their aces 
And time no longer chases.

Our Love Story

OUR LOVE STORY-PART ONE

WE BOTH KNOW 
WHAT WE BOTH FELT 
WE WERE NEVER WRONG 
WHAT WRONG DID WE COMMIT?
WE GAVE LOVE A CHANCE

NOBODY UNDERSTOOD US 
NOBODY EXPLAINED WHY
IT WASN’T A CO-INCIDENT
IT WAS NEVER A MISTAKE
IT WAS WHOLE HEART GIVEN LOVE

WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG?
LIFE ON EARTH NEVER GAVE US A CHANCE
WE TRIED OUR BEST 
BUT FAITH DENIED US HAPPINESS

                                                                  APHIWE MKHWANAZI (15)
 
IT GAVE US EVERYTHING 
EXCEPT WHAT WE WANTED THE MOST...’’EACH OTHER’’......
IT RATHER LED US INTO LIFE ON THE OTHER PART OF THE WORLD

WHERE THERE WERE NO QUESTIONS IN OUR LOVE....... 
NO DOUBTS IN OUR LIVES.......
NO TROUBLES IN OUR TOGETHERNESS.....
NO FAULTS IN TALKS......
NO SECOND THOUGHTS IN OUR DECISIONS......
NO WORRIES IN OUR BLESSINGS......
NO FEARS IN OUR RELATION.......
