Briefie aan n wegloop kind

Aan you skryf ek n briefie
in die hoop dat jy dit sal kry.
Ek sal nie vir jou soek nie
jys nie meer gelukkig by my.

Die briefie se nie veel nie
klein om in jou sak te dra.
in die hoop dat jy eendag sal terug kom
en dit self vir my kan vra.

Sonder tierlanteintjies
geskryf op geel papier.
Die hoekies effens om gekril
onderaan met trane versier.

Ek wou maar net se ek mis jou
verewig aan my gebind.
My deure staan altyd oop vir jou
ek wag vir jou my wegloop kind.

Ek wens jy kan my vergewe
ek wou jou graag net hier he.
Ek is ook nie foutloos
as ek maar net kon jammer se.

Onthou ek is lief vir jou
waar ook al jy mag bly.
In my hart is daar geen kwaad vir jou
alle liefies....

van my.

So sad, never put off today what can make life so wonderful, you never know how long we have people in our lives, love and communication are so important bouquet

I just wanted to say I miss you
bound to me forever.
My doors are always open for you
I wait for you my runaway child.


This has got to be the most heartbreaking poem I've ever read! There isn't anything sadder than a parent's heart crying out to hold their beloved missing child. And to read how this mother went to her grave never being given the chance of reuniting, too overwhelming. Extraordinarily powerful write, Jasmyn.
