When I Can Call You My Very Own (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

When I can call you my very own
may this feeling and principle last eternally
and to the world our love be known
with only happiness for you and me.

When we both know the depths of bliss
let it be constantly sweet
with something more in each single kiss
and may we each morning each other greet

as if we will forever remain
in love, in companionship, in joy
even in days of sorrow and pain,
as if nothing can destroy

our sincere feelings which are true,
and may I forever remain loving you.
