Eternal Light: A Tribute to You

Drastic 2003 (Cape Town)



As the celestial cascade bellows to the ground,
And the avian melodies cycle around,
As towns are rebuild and some burnt down,
There is but one reason for me not to acclaim my frown.

For your golden locks and eyes so bright,
A vision consisting of pure delight.
In his gaze, the world simply feels right,
A boy who shines in day and night.

His laughter echoes, pure and free,
A melody of joy to be.
With every step, he lights the way,
A beacon if hope in full display.

His spirit dances, wild and true,
A heart that knows no bounds, no rue.
In his presence, shadows flee,
Revealing life’s true beauty.

A soul so gentle, kind, and wise,
Reflecting heaven in his eyes.
Forever cherished, loved, and known,
A golden boy, a light full grown.

To you, dear boy, my heart does bind,
In you, a love so pure I find.
No storm or trial can tear apart,
The bond we share, soul to heart.

In every moment, night or day,
My love for you will never sway.
Forevermore, through all life's flight,
I'll hold you close, my guiding light.
