What does it mean to be a man my son…
It means to know God and to be known by God;
to speak with dignity and respect,
to be strong and proud, but not to gloat or lord over other people.
It means being honourable in all your dealings, especially when it’s hard,
to be true and trustworthy with all you meet,
to always keep your word.
It means being honest, first and foremost with yourself and out of that to others,
being a man of integrity, being faithful to those God has given you;
treating them with love in a way that reflects love for them; which means sometimes you speak, sometimes you give, sometimes you listen, sometimes you feel, and yes, sometimes you do.
It means being respectful to those in authority over you,
staying committed to the causes that choose you, and those that you choose,
being passionate but selfless, and always carrying yourself with dignity and in the quiet confidence of who you are.
And that means you have to dig to find out who you really are and to not avoid the tough bits or even your weaknesses, being open to other’s thoughts on this matter…
It’s a hard road my son, but there is great strength and hope in doing and being like this.
It means seeking knowledge in all things; in God, in yourself, in others, and of the world,
being aware of what is happening around you, inside you, and with you,
seeking understanding and compassion; and I know - for a man sometimes that is hard.
It means being driven by aspirations – but not driving over others;
anything gained that way is short lived, and soon enough you too will be driven over,
then again sometimes bad things just happen to test your true character, but you must remain true to our hope, and not give in to despair.
My son you are called to be a guardian, a protector,
a faithful custodian of all that God has given you in your life.
To be a man my son you must stay true to your calling.
To be a man my son, get to know God and be known by God;
be responsible, be strong, be humble, be sure of your hope,
be willing to stand alone, or in a group, but in all this, be yourself.

Many people will walk in and out of your life.
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.

Friends

Anger is only one letter short of danger
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;
If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.

He, who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from the mistakes of others
You can't live long enough to make them all
yourself.

Friends, you and me...
You brought another friend...
And then there were 3...
We started our group...
Our circle of friends...
And like that circle...
There is no beginning or end...

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
That is why it is called the present.

Show your friends how much you care...
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND.
If it comes back to you, then you'll know you
have a circle of friends

My Christmas wish for you
is not a simple one
for I wish you hope and joy and peace
days filled with warmth and sun
I wish you love and friendship too
throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
to fill your world with cheer
May you count your blessings, one by one
and when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
much more than what you sought
May your journeys be short, your burdens light
may your spirit never grow old
may all your clouds have silver linings
and your rainbows pots of gold
I wish you all this and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a wonderful Christmas
And a happy New Year, too .
May God bless you and keep you safe till we meet again in 2009!

To daydream is to stir the pot of hope.
What we most want is up upon a stage,
Eliciting a self-vicarious pleasure.
Nor should we deprecate such homespun treasure,
The source of much delight at any age.
Years pass, yet dreams with dreamers still elope.

Fear not to dream, for dreams are not mere leisure:
Imagination gives one room to cope,
Vivid in its scenes of love and rage
Even as it makes one's world to measure.

My Heart

Give this heart to everyone you don't want to lose in 2009, including me if you care.
Try to collect 12, It's not easy!

Never take someone for granted
Hold every person close to your heart
Because you might wake up one day
And realize that you've lost a diamond
While you were too busy collecting stones

1.

Everyday is A surprise

A surprise from up above

I'm still living

I'm a life

Everyday is A challenge

a challenge to me

to conquer the world

I'm living in

2.

Never say why

Never say die

But you know

Where you come from

And where you go

God is Great and

Don't be afraid

1.

Die Winter is verby                                              

Die lente het ons vermy

Somer is hier

want by ons is dit drie seisoen gety                      

Tyd om te plan

Tyd om te groei

Tyd om te maai

2.

When I was A little boy

My Mamma,yes she did spoil                              

Then I grow and though                                        

I know better

But she show it don't get better

If you don't work on the matter

It will splatter

3.

From the cradle to the bride'le to the grave

That is the path we had to brave

To learn and to conquer life

To learn and to be  taught

to show and be showed

To live and let live

To care and be cared for

To love and be loved

What did you do in your journey?

4.

I want to fly

fly away

I want to be

be away

I don't want to stay

Stay behind

cause that is not kind

I loose my mind
