Dad, You Were A True Afrikaner In Your Heart Poem by Gert Strydom

Dad, you were a true Afrikaner in your heart
and when your church trampled on the Afrikaner
you would probably have walked out
with those that they were sending to hell

not because you did not care for God
as before everything you served God,
but you knew that not only religion
or a church

takes a person to heaven,
but the relationship
that you cultivate,
that a person has with God

is the actual thing
that really matters.
