Smiles And Crutches

Nici and I could smile while we wandered amongst
the wild flowers, but Tiaan was wearing a frown,
he had to hobble everywhere and those crutches were
tiring in the end, but the flowers touched our hearts
and made us see beauty in a new way…

The yellow flowers changing the fields into plates
of sunshine, flowers in Namaqualand are divine,
creating a flowery paradise that shines…
