Grow and Glow above fear by Preston Saayman
View Preston reading the poem live here which he read during our MOT Enthusiasts’ Gathering 6 March 2020
Another day yes, another opportunity to pray
Another way to endure my community to sway
In the movement of a brighter future a better day
Young people, The leaders, the teachers of tomorrow
Life gets hard but we cannot live it in sorrow
I hope my message strikes your heart like an arrow
I hope the mantra sets in very thorough
You will grow and you will glow
You will grow and you will glow
I know the comfort of being alone,
In your own space, hiding your real face
Forcing a straight face
Against the pain out there and the disgrace
But believe me how powerful is just one smile
That ecstasy energy will be around for a whole while
The satisfaction of jubilation as one nation
That’s what we need
We do that step by step by being discreet
Is the process long? Yes, unfortunately, it is indeed
But reaping the fruits of good karma is priceless
Don’t be voiceless
Courage is within I can guarantee
I used to hate the fact that I love being happy
The fear that it might be taken away as a canvas from an artist
But now I strive to be the one who loves the hardest
Take all those emotions and nurture your harvest
Escape that abyss, escape the pain, escape all the darkness
Become robust and start to believe and trust, look in the mirror and see your soul sparkle of stardust
My friends call me alchemy. And I encourage you to make your heart the largest.
