An Invocation Over My Darling Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Lina Spies)

My Lord, You made Eve for Adam,
did touch them with Your image and the breath of life.

I have unending fallen in love with a pretty woman
and I believe she also loves me.

You that is the light, life and selfless love
know how without power I do miss her more,

I pray that we do not leave You or each other,
that nothing do break this, You know how expensive it does cost

and lift her and me up like a father when we fall,
prepare for us a place in Your great universe.
