I Know3 Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

It's in the most beautiful light that I do you see:
that you are destined for me and I realize,
that not in vane I do wait, hope and trust
and that you do me also love,
where on your own you prayed for me.
when another person trampled me down.
I cannot resist you lovely character
while I cling to friendship and my own love,
when my life blows like dust in the wind,
while days pass into the distant distance
and nobody and nothing can turn time back.
I find you out of your own standing next to me.
where in God with you I find silent acquiesce,
while with you hope and expectation do remain.
