I Did Not Plan Things Like This (Couplets) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

To make contact again I did not plan
I was disillusioned, ashamed of my behaviour as a man

when you brought me and my problems to God,
in my heart stirred something lovely and not odd.

You could the truth explain and see
and I realized you must feel something for me.

Just like you I banned all problems from my life,
to live again I removed all that caused strive,

from things that could bother did stay away,
started to love you more from that day.

You entering my life indicated that God do care,
that you and Him was of my life aware.
