More Than I Could Dream (For Sandiso)

When my strength was low and my steps were slow, You held my hand and wouldn’t let go. Through the healing days, through the quiet pain, You carried hope when I couldn’t stand. You were patient when I lost my way, Gentle words at the end of each day. In your eyes I saw the truth so clear— I was never alone, you were always here, Sandiso. Oh my love, you’ve been my light, My laughter in the longest night. You knew when to hold me close, When to lift me up and help me grow. For every sacrifice you’ve made for me, May heaven give you abundantly. More and more and more, I pray, Blessings chasing you every day, Sandiso. Ngiyakuthanda, Sandiso wami. UNkulunkulu akubusise, akukhulise, akwandisele. Izibusiso zakho mazibe ngaphezu kwalokho ongakuphupha. From open fields under African skies, A young boy walking where the cattle roamed. You learned strength, you learned to stand, With a faithful heart and hardworking hands. That same man now walks with me, Strong and kind, leading our family. You gave your time, your rest, your all, And lifted me every time I would fall. May doors open where you walk, May favor follow every step you take. May your dreams rise higher than the sky, And every seed you’ve sown come back multiplied. The love you’ve given, the heart you show— May it return to you overflow, Sandiso. My love, you’re my answered prayer, My safe place, my everywhere. For the man you are and all you do, I speak God’s richest blessings over you. More and more and more, I pray, Joy and peace in every way. More than you could ever dream— That’s what you are to me, Sandiso.
