I Will Recognize You (Stanza) Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Lina Spies)

In living out Kahlil Gibran's verses I will recognize you
and in all of the loveliest small things you do
when jacaranda trees do hang with purple flowers
and I long for you through sunny days and rain-showers,
I will burn a candle just for you, as your love is true
you are written on the walls of my heart
and I will know you when we are together and apart,
you are a part of each prayer and are in my mind
and impressions of you I do everywhere find.
