Take me in your arms so I may embrace you like the seasons, the scent of Spring surrounds you, the warmth of Summer your blanket, gentle as an Autumn leave falling, comfort like a Winter’s day morning,
All the beauties of this world, personified in your presence, embodiment of true love’s essence, your prayers filled with blessings for all things around you, so glad that I found you, the appreciation I will give you will astound you, heavens fallen angel, but even that could not ground you.
We are the broken but whole and though our cracks, they may be deep, do not mistake this for a weakness, for I assure you we are not weak, we will not shatter when shaken, we will not crumble under pressure, our golden standard our own, we are not here for you to measure,
We will rise above expectations, in the depths we do not creep, we do not follow, we are not sheep, we know our value and we are not cheap, for we are the broken but whole, everyone of us unique
Cape Town, my beloved city, bright lights they do adorn her, mountain peaks and busy streets, beauty on every corner, sweet smelling flora, most majestic fauna, just a handful of her wonders make it hard not to adore her,
The mother city, all her children, a cultural melting pot, flavours of all ethnicities, together they have been brought, such great unity, a home for all that have sought, her splendour chases you, and just know you will be caught, give thanks to our forefathers, for this is why they fought,
The beauty of bustling beaches, the great Garden route, the history of the Cape flats, the depth of our local roots, the summit of Table mountain, in hardy hiking boots, snowing Ceres mountains and delicate fynbos shoots, the mother city welcomes you
