Poem for Dean

like the hydra 
you grow more plentiful 
yet far wittier.

like lantana 
you sprout more vigorously 
yet far prettier.

like comments 
below a Steve Hofmeyr article 
you are endless and yet much more wise.

and more rare
than all the world's gems you are
than you will ever realise.

A silly little poem I wrote for a friend in a comment on their Facebook feed while we were speaking of their persistence and their willpower to succeed in the light of challenges they face. It's a longer story than that, but this will have to do.
