Chris van der Westhuizen

Die lewe is soos skaakspel -
soms ’n groot genot.
Maar skuif jy dalk verkeerd,
breek jy dalk ’n gebod.

Jou lewe is afhanklik
van wat jy sê en doen;
met eerlikheid in woorde
bly jou lewe altyd groen.

Met silwerskoon gedagtes
en met God diep in jou hart,
sal jy nooit ooit verkeerd skuif -
en ken jy nie, skaakmat!

Checkmate!

Life is like a game of chess,
At times, a joy to play.
But one wrong move can lead you
Far from the narrow way.

Your choices shape your journey,
In all you say and do.
Speak truth and walk with honor - 
Your path will stay in view.

With thoughts as pure as silver,
And God within your gate,
You'll never fall to darkness,
Nor end in checkmate!
