Full Of Innocence Was Your Lovely Face (Sicilian Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Today I prayed to God to answer a prayer,
I prayed against them that work underhand,
that every word you would really understand,
asked God in your day to really take care,

sunlight fell in through the window's square
as I took my blue inked pen in my hand,
saw the silver glow of the wedding band,
remembered the nuances of your fair hair,

today remembered your face more or less,
could not see the aspects of its true grace
remembered again every curly blonde tress
and full of innocence was your lovely face
where it did your true heart sweetly express
of love for me and for God a dwelling-place.
