Many Times I Wondered (Refrain Stanza) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

Many times I wondered if love is a thing from heaven or from hell
where of the impact, the wonder and the woes I can as a witness tell
and yet sometimes it comes as sincere, great, beautiful and true:
in all of the perfect qualities that I have found living in you
while its domain is everywhere on the hill and down in the dell,
where you walk the path of light and are constant in all your ways,
I am blessed beyond what a human does deserve in all of my days
and almost like in witchery you have wrapped me in your spell
where of the impact, the wonder and the woes I can as a witness tell.
