Umfana Wami Okhethekile (Ngendodana yami enhle uJack, ngomama wakhe oziqhenyayo uNicki Zieth)
Sengathi ngakubeletha
Umfana wami omncane okhethekile,
kodwa kwakungeke kube njalo.
Uyithathile impilo yami ngenye indlela,
Ngaba nenhlanhla yokukhethwa ukuba ngibe umama wakho.
Ngomzuzu ngitshelwa ngawe, futhi ngabona isithombe sakho,
naleso sigqoko esincane sikaSanta.
Ngakuthanda.
Kumelwe ukuba uyahlanya!, lapho amazwi esiwazwile
lapho sitshela umndeni wethu nabangane
mayelana nesifiso sethu sokukwamukela.
Kungani?
Ngoba sthandwa sami uyisibusiso esikhethekile,
ingcebo . . .
Wena lapho wazalelwa khona ukhubazekile,
nakuba kithi ikhono lakho elibalulekile.
Abazali bakho abakuzalayo abakwazanga ukubekezelela,
futhi sijabule kakhulu ukuthi kwaba kanjalo.
Balapho imoto yethu ukuze igcwalise injabulo,
ukugibela kwakho ezimpilweni zethu
Siyakuthanda, mfana wethu omncane okhethekile,
futhi namanje angikholwa ukuthi sibusisekile kangakanani.
Njengoba ngibuka ukunyuka nokuwa kwesifuba sakho esilele
Ngibonga umdali wakho konke,
ngenxa yendodana emangalisayo asithume yona.
futhi okokuqala ngqa empilweni yami,
Ngiyabonga ngobunyumba bami,
ngoba ngaphandle kwakho bengingeke ngikuthande,
mfana wami omuhle,
futhi ngaphandle kwakho amaphupho ami nempilo
kuzoshoda kakhulu,
uthando olungaka
engagetshengwa nembobo enhliziyweni yami engasoze yaphola.
