You Are Present Poem by Gert Strydom

You are present in my heart and my mind,
also in everything that I experience and feel,
with you all of my life have got a close connection

and just as you are I do know no other person,
and I do only want the very best for you.
You are present in my heart and my mind,

but suddenly here is a virus from China, a foreign country,
and about the impact of it I have got a foreboding.
With you all of my life have got a close connection

but locked-down you are away from me at a distance
and too silent is the noise and bustle of the city.
You are present in my heart and my mind

and biological like a weapon from an enemy,
this pestilence destroys without any compassion.
With you all of my life have got a close connection

and I believe every life is in God's omnipotent hand,
this thing is not in His will or plan or purpose.
You are present in my heart and my mind,
with you all of my life have got a close connection
