My Whole Life Poem by Gert Strydom

My whole life
has been set
to find the person
in whose soul
I can drown my tears,

to find the arms
that embraces with warmth and care,
the look that understands
beyond comprehension,
the one that is truly there,
an anchor against despair.

I have searched near and far
until we met
and even if this wanderer
do not know yet
what depths love really is
and what it demands
I do know that you
make me happy
and without you
I do not really know
where to go.
