For You That Do Bless Me In My Body, Soul And Spirit Poem by Gert Strydom

For You that do bless me in my body, soul and spirit,
I think that Your omnipotence do cover all of my ways
as Your selfless love does range everywhere
and everything that I have and are, are only borrowed to me.

I do thank You:
for a face and body that my wife finds attractive,
for all interjections that do make me fully human,
for a voice and words that do touch others
and I look at You with the trust of a child

but more I thank You for the love in her heart
and that she does still love me in times of happiness and sorrow.
