I Have Lived In Times Of War And Peace (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

I have lived in times of war and peace,
have know fools and important men,
have seen the effects of famine and disease,
have know the kindness of some women,

I have traveled near and far
have visited both family and friends
by train, plane, bus and car
and some has acted as bad as fiends

and life continually goes on,
great heartaches and joys have come,
some friends were dear and some are gone
but nothing true I have found until you made a happy home

as your true love does evermore remain
in times of joy, sadness and even pain.
