(after Breyten Breytenbach)
The realization stays in my mind
that in my life you are lovely and kind,
that the course of it makes no difference
of how sincere you bring to me reference,
that I do find acquiescence and love from you
with faith and trust just like a child would do,
this is what my memories bring in their recall
where I do not know what will us in the future befall
but do know that your kind of love does stay
and to me it comes free on each and every day.
