Boodskap deur die Nag

groene swangerling rypend gesond
oes gereed in barendsnood
as maar net die maaier weet
kreunend grond in pyn

oggendstond se goud is rooi
vanoggend as die koeie kom
aanstappend gedwee enkellid
weemoed hortend  emmers vol

spruit vol klip
kabbel trane rietgras seer
weenend wieg vinke blindlings
hoeveld son sy baan verloor

stomme plaaswerf
hoenderhok rou
oe gevestig op die weste
vir die donker om hul hart toe te vou

oor verre velde
deur treund valleie
op vleuels van die wind
snellend boodskap

die boer is dood

Hoe huil ek sommer so vroeg op n Vrydagoggend toe ek dit lees: ''When I was a kid, my Mum liked to make food for dinner every now & then & I remember one night in particular when she made dinner after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my Mum placed a plate of bread jam and extremely burned biscuits in front of my Dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my Dad did was reach for his biscuit, smiled at my Mum and asked me ...how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember hearing my Mum apologize to my Dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said.'' Honey, I love burned biscuits.'' Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said.’ Your Mum put in a long hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides a burned biscuit never hurt anyone but harsh words do!'' You know, life is full of imperfect things... And imperfect people, I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each others differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing and lasting relationship. So... please pass me a biscuits. And yes, the burnt one will do just fine! Life is too short to wake up with regrets''... Love the people who treat you right and have compassion for the ones who don't. ENJOY LIFE NOW - IT HAS AN EXPIRY DATE."
God bless you!!!
