Jayram Daya Poems

Red rose for you my dear
We are near this year
Fresh from the morning dew
I am due from the few
...

Seeing the smile on a pretty face,
Wanting to hear the steps that race,
Nostalgic smell I always chase.
Tasty kiss that wants to embrace,
...

Where the ancestor's spirits lives forever
Saluting Madiba for his endeavour
The dawn of freedom colours the eastern sky
Awake South Africa it's my cry
...

Childhood enrolled fun and play
With a demand all was done
Neglect and habits had no say
When playing was all in one
...

When you looked down on me
I looked up with hope
When I raced with the ants
I saw your toes go bye
...

In all, I do from now on,
I'll light the lamp anew.
Like my very first preview
I'll chase it through and through.
...

When hatred invaded a weak thought,
The mind was prepared for defeat.
It was the will that fought,
Anger attacked without retreat.
...

The lion never roars without a cause
Dawn breaks with the pride on the paws
In the wild go the hungry jaws
Courage and speed leaves no flaws
...

I see the stretching lips
Lining the nose above
I see the rounding cheek
Covering the eyes around
...

In a passing parade
With a stern salute
Marches a soldier
For his countries glory
...
