Simonstad



Vandag het my hart vinniger geklop by myle per uur, my longe propvol niks anders as piekfyn perfeksie plesier
My siel het gelyktydig gejeubel en saggies kom rus.
Hier is waar ek hoort
Dis n lofsang en ek ken elke koort
n sonskyn sewende hemel gevoel
Daars niks nerens meer as hierdie vir my bedoel
Ek het verlief geraak vandag op hierdie plek
Hier het die hemel tot op die aarde gelek.
