Diary Journal 4 (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Will you believe that your laughter and smile do stay,
that it continually play like a movie in my mind,
where constantly I do get the previous images back,
where we did share life as husband and wife,
when your hand find mine and we walk through the streets,
look at the flowers of the neighbourhood everywhere around us,
with love and faith and in both of us a kind of hope
that the moment just around the corner and in each tomorrow looks better,
where cuttings become precious possessions for us both,
when geraniums and all kinds of flowers comes from them
and God do pour out His big mercy over our garden,
that it astonishes you and me and the whole neighbourhood,
you remain my soul mate as if a rite hangs over you and me,
of which the love does never come to an end.
