My Father (In Answer To T.T. Cloete) Poem by Gert Strydom

My Father (In Answer To T.T. Cloete)



My father lived for God, family, friends
and for his country,
just before his death, as a lay preacher
he gave a sermon in pain while trembling,
he was formidable, the kind of man
to emulate,
his word was true, more concrete than steel,
integrity did radiate from him.

[Reference: "Ballade van die patriot" (ballad of the patriot) by T.T. Cloete.]
