You introduced Spring 1995

And Spring became like you

Force of nature, a whole season

You came to stay forever

Annie, our Lenteblommetjie

You make everything bright

You have no second name

Cause you don’t need one

First daughter, first granddaughter

Big sister to two, little sister to one

Wife, mother and sister to 4 more

Beloved, loving and lovely

Annie, our Lenteblommetjie

You make everything bright

You have no second name

Cause you don’t need one

You are irreplaceable

Glue which connects us

Glitter to make us shine

Gift and blessing to all

Annie, our Lenteblommetjie

You make everything bright

You have no second name

Cause you don’t need one

You get to be the first recipient

Of a gift which cannot be bought

With love from your Secret Santa

The one who gave birth to Spring!
