Gert Strydom Poems

I have been wondering about a race
that can deceive, plunder, kill, rape and maim,
about soldiers without conscience or grace,
that does capitalists for their hardship blame,
...

(for Annelize)

When I see the wonder of God's work,
notice the gambolling birds and their songs do surprise,
...

(for Annelize)

At heart I do know you very well,
do recall the colour of your fine hair
...

Your crucifixion a cruel impression brings;
you proofed sincere love were existing,
with true love You came to humanity
and Your selfless benevolence stays with me,
...

Evening meal

The twelve of them was with Him in the upper chamber,
carefree John did turn to Him.
...

(for Annelize)

Outside the speckled white, black and yellow barbet calls,
the yellow weavers gambol the day yellow and sunny,
...

There are people that do agnostically stray
where Jesus is no saviour and Lord to them,
about Jesus Christ they do tell another story.
To them His godliness and humanity is no mystery:
...

(for Annelize)

Love is a strange kind of thing
where you do touch my mind, soul and spirit
...

Two drones drew the warship's attention away,
provided accurate target data on that day,

for the two P-360 Neptune missiles to hit,
...

(for Annelize)

I miss you where away from you tonight I do rest,
pray that God will protect you on each busy day,
...
