C.F. van Niekerk - Know Yourself

Know yourself

I was born as a son.
I lived as a boy.
I grew as a male.
And fought as the tough.
I stood as the strong.
I thought as a poet.
I listened as a professional.
I played as an addict
I slept as the pleased.
I ate as in a feast.
I worked as an expert.
I learned as a child.
I married as a friend.
I loved as a lover.
I changed as a father.
I woke up to be a leader.
I am committed to the dream.
I am a man.
Life is good,
Because He makes it good…
Stop!
Look in your heart…
The pounding so strong,
Without Him my sight is blind.
Now,
What about You?

C.F. van Niekerk
