Everything Now Seems So Fleetingly (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

For you I waited my whole life through.
You and I have got something special, girl,
and I want to love you in everything I do.
while life far too swiftly past us do whirl

while everything now seems so fleetingly
and it's much more than just another thrill
where you are much more than life to me.
With the virus life do survival into us drill

and restrictions seems like a part of life
as if all liberty has been lost somehow
but I do still intensely love you, my wife,
do of the pain of being apart truly know,

daily pray for God's protection to remain,
as we live in a world of heartache and pain.
