Poem my Dad wrote

I would like to share a poem that my dad wrote for the twins, he just wrote it from his heart and only afterwards saw that it was actually a poem - sorry, it is in Afrikaans.

Karlo en Kean

Ons was so opgewonde om van julle te hoor
Kon nie wag om vir almal te vertel
Twee seuns is oppad, ons lag van oor tot oor
Almal moet weet, daar word orals rond gebel

Die tyd gaan stadig verby
Altyd gretig om the hoor van jul vordering
Daar is so baie goedjies om te kry
Geen moeite word gespaar om dit bymekaar te kry

Skielik moet ons hoor jul is daar nie meer
Vra word gevra, antwoorde is daar nie
Dit is 'n groot slag, almal huil, is hartseer
Wou julle graag leer ken maar Jesus het anders bestem

Nou sit julle by Jesus, die beste plek ooit
Twee prag engeltjies, liggies wat skyn
Eendag sal ons jul sien maar tot dan - vergeet - nooit
Sal altyd daar wees in ons gedagtes so klein so fyn

Ons is lief vir julle en sal eendag ook daar wees
Maar nou is julle ment ons in gees

Oupa

My dad was very emotional through everything. The day after my op, he went to the car, prayed and came back to me and said: "They are in heaven with grandad now." That just made me cry even more!

I really try to be brave, but sometimes its not that easy. Like last night on Villa Rosa the lady were washing here baby clothes (she is seven months pregnant) - that made me weak, I cried a bit and now I feel much better!

Hi Mandri

That is such a special poem. i think it is just as painful for our parents to loose their grandchildren. for a man to express his emotions is also a very good sign.
When i lost my son, my father was very quiet but i could see he was in alot of pain. My brother couldnt talk to me for days.. i guess he just didnt want to break down infront of me. but they were all there by my side.

I'm so sorry about your boys. If you ever feel like talking about them please feel free to do so. and i love the names Karlo en Kean. you sound like such a lovely mommy and i pray with all my heart that you will recieve another miracle soon. :Please:
