Its meet my children time. These to me are clearly the best gift of children ever, God truly blessed me. Starting from the left they are Cherise who is 12, Cheyne who is 19 and last but not least, Dustyn who is 21. Cherise who attends junior school, lives with me in South Africa and my boys live and work in the UK. They had to leave me prematurely because of politics and I miss them terribly. Before they left, I organized a surprise farewell. It turned out to be a well attended party and during the evening, I presented them with their going away gifts, suitcases for their Zimbabwean lives, and I wrote this poem, which I read out aloud over the microphone, a poem that resorted many in the room, including my boys and myself, to tears. It was one of the saddest times in my life and as years pass by without them, the pain of distance never fails to cut sharp and deep. I give thanks always for my children and am so happy knowing that all three willingly gave their lives to God and although they may side step, He will forever hold the keys.

GOODBYE MY BOYS
Its time to say goodbye
Which makes me very sad
Please forgive me as I cry
As my heart breaks so bad
But I want the best for you
Both Dustyn and you Cheyne
So let go is what I must do
Even though I feel this pain
I pray happiness for you guys
In the place you're both going
And I hope that time flies
With holidays in the knowing
Thanks for all the years
That you've both given me
And although you see tears
My memories will always be
I love you both so dearly
And I'm going to miss you so
But I know that very clearly
See you again, I will, I know

These are poems that I wrote about my children , my special gifts from God.

My Girl

You are my special little girl

I'm so happy you were born

You know how to twist and twirl

To avoid my loving scorn

I love the curls on your head

And your beautiful cheeky smile

I love you from morning till bed

For you I will go that extra mile

Matthew 9:22(NKJV)

"Be of good cheer daughter"

My Child

You arrived as my special treasure

You created joy I could not measure

You gave me good reason to live

You never failed your love to give

You made me feel young again

You allowed me to be childish and insane

You took great comfort in my touch

You accepted discipline and learnt much

You made me laugh and cry too

You learnt to trust in all I do

You gave so many years so much delight

You made giving feel so very right

You are my child my greatest gift

You have all my love which will never drift

Matthew 6:21 (NKJV)

"For where your treasure is, your heart will be also"

Child Of Mine

You came into my life so small

And tried to walk before you could crawl

You are my child that filled me with joy

With a face so mischievous and coy

I could never get enough of you

As you gave life a meaning anew

I used to sit and watch you sleep

And I was so happy it made me weep

I loved every moment watching you grow

Cause you're so special as you must know

There were times you knew you were bad

And I had to discipline which made me sad

You are my child and I am full of pride

And my love for you I will never hide

Proverbs 23:25 (NKJV)

"Let your father and your mother be glad"
