There is no place more lovely in the world
Than that which nestles on the Southern tip
Of Africa. With coast line gently curled
Between two mighty oceans. Where a ship
Can hide from storms ferocious or can cruise
Upon a blue and balmy azure sea.
A land of contrast and stupendous views
Of nature in majestic panoply
Of variation. Where one can decide
To work or play; to strive; to dig for gold;
Where first and third world jostle side by side
And where it never gets too hot nor cold.
A piece of heaven missing from above
South Africa. The land I truly love.
Thanks for the Business
Written when I was employed by Old Mutual as a thank you card to those who I visited.
It's usually quite hard to find
A person who will feel inclined
To spend some time establishing
Just what the future has to bring!
So when I do, I like to send
A special "Thank You" to that friend,
For giving up his time for me
To help with his prosperity!
And I would like to say to you
"If there is more that I can do,
To help with your security,
Don't hesitate to contact me,
And I will do my very best
To satisfy what you request,
And help with what you need to do,
To make your every dream come true."
