    Herinneringe aan my wit antie, die skrywer Annelie Botes

    Ek deel my herinneringe aan my antie, Annelie Botes. Jare gelede vra ek haar: “My antie. Hoe maak ek wanneer doemprofete in die diepste nag in my oor kom fluister en die heilige hoekies van my hart wil beset?” Haar advies was: “My broer, dis altyd makliker om die seer in ink te laat uitvloei as om met gestolde dinge te lewe. Skryf, skryf, skryf...” (Terloops, uit daardie advies is ’n gedig gebore). Een ding van my antie sal my altyd bybly: Sy’t haar vingerafdrukke agtergelaat in my. Rus sag, my antie. Rus sag.

    Poem for Luca Daniel Milborrow

    I wrote this poem on the day of Luca, my grandson’s birth. Poem for Luca Daniel Milborrow 16 August's cradle holds a treasure so dear, Luca Milborrow, a grandchild, a radiant light and clear. A great-grandchild, a fresh beginning's embrace, His life's canvas painted with Ma Eva’s smile and grace. May wisdom's gentle streams guide his way, Luca's gifts and talents twinkle like stars above, And his heart brimming with boundless love. Luca’s life, a blessing with laughter's sweet embrace, His name whispered in the world's ear, A melody of hope, tender and sincere. With each dawn's rise, his purpose will unfold, A beacon of hope, a tale to be told. Blessed be Luca to bring light to each day, And his parents’ love, a guide to a brighter day. © 2023 Selwyn Milborrow
