A Woman Poem by Gert Strydom

I am searching for a woman
who does believe in me,
to whom I can trust everything in my life,
who is radiating like the summer,

in who's heart love does gather
like a cloudburst,
who wants her own will at times,
a girl who is proud to come from Afrikaner stock,

she must be slender like a shadow
but also pretty on the eye,
should be able to keep up with my footsteps
and be able to understand me, for whom I am,

must caress me like the hot sun
does stretch out its rays over the earth,
unexpected like Namaqualand
wake me up with a smile full of flowers

and if I do find her
she will make a horde of offspring for me.
