This is a poem by Lidi de Waal
die lewe is te kort daarvoor
om geluk elders te bly soek
of om daarvoor te bly sit en wag
geluk is nie iewers anders nie
dis nie in ń ander dorp
of ń beter blyplek nie
dis nie in volgende week of volgende jaar nie
dis nie by ń ander partner
of beter vriende
of ń ander werk nie
geluk is hier waar jy is
geluk is in die vrede binne in jou
in die klein stukkies vreugde
wat soms in jou eie hart opwel
