Heritage Day Poem
Proudly South African Heritage Day.
A Day for some like no other
but to me they say why even bother?
Nature and people all come together
Changing the future for us forever.
Black, White or a colour scale of Grey?
Promises of change to all each day.
The truth of history is there for all to see
We all need to come together, listen and agree.
Different culture, religion and race
all together making our home a safe place.
Proudly South African that's what i want to be
So come and enjoy a great heritage day with me!

Welcome to the first edition of Ask Away. This blog report has been opened, for all of you who needs someone to listen. If you really want any more info about me, you can check out my complete profile. We all have problems in our life, and sometimes it takes a whole other person to see what the solution is.
In our first Edition we will be talking about Death. We all had to in one time or another deal with the effects and emotions death can bring to a person/family. Each Person then has his/her own way of dealing with it, and eventually we all tend to move on with our lives, but what the world doesn't know is that the pain always remains. For each person lost it is a different experience to those who stay behind. A mother who should lose her child, will have a totally different reaction to it than if that same mother should lose an
uncle, brother or parent. Of course there are different stages of grieve, or so they say....First you cry your heart our, thinking how can life be so cruel to you for taking that person away from you. Then you ask the universal Question "Why?" Why him/her, Why did it happen to me, Why has God taken this person away from us?
Then the funeral happens and your in total denial, You won't believe that this person is actually gone, and you can't stand the fact that the body will now forever be in a hole in the ground, cold and alone. Then you just feel empty and numb, and then nothing... the pain doesn't go away and the person that died doesn't come back. And You? You live. All you have are the memory's, the dreams, and the longing.
