The Best Poem by Christa van Rooyen

The Best



The Best
Afrikaans:
I'm attached
and devoted to you!
To me you are a wreath
Your grapevines flourish
In my ploughed land
You've been irrigated with
Impudent love
You bear cuddly-children
Your speakers stretch
From the East to the West
And by far:
You're the best!
Christa (2010)

Die Beste

Afrikaans:
Ek is aan jou verknog
Jy is vir my 'n sieraad
Jou wingerdstokke groei welig
in my opgeploegde land
Jy is besprinkeld met
onbeskaamde liefde en
jy bring voort troetelkinders
Jou sprekers strek
van die Ooste na die Weste
en jy bly verreweg
Die Beste!
Christa (August 2010)
