In the dawn’s soft glow, I sang her awake,
“Good morning, my sunshine,” until dreams start to shake.
We’d wander the shores, collecting our tales,
Old stories in seashells and whispered gale.
Her laughter dances like flames in the night,
Beside the fire, sharing tunes that feel right.
Oh Carmia, my sunshine, you light up the skies,
Every moment with you is our time to rise.
Through life’s open fires and those 80s beats,
Your heart is the anchor that guides my retreats.
Three days in this world, you came to our arms,
Our oldest treasure, with endless charms.
Driving by the waves in Mossel Bay’s embrace,
“This is the time,” our hearts found their place.
Every drive, every sunset, hand in hand,
Dreams and memories etched in the sand.
Oh Carmia, my sunshine, you light up the skies,
Every moment with you is our time to rise.
Through life’s open fires and those 80s beats,
Your heart is the anchor that guides my retreats.
In the storm of life, you became my calm,
Adopted by love, a sweet, endless psalm.
The stars in the night, they shimmer and gleam,
Reflecting our journey, like a beautiful dream.
Oh Carmia, my sunshine, you light up the skies,
Every moment with you is our time to rise.
Through life’s open fires and those 80s beats,
Your heart is the anchor that guides my retreats.
