In My Heart Joy Remain (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

In my heart the greatest joy do remain
in the true words a long time past spoken
with some beautiful memories and pain,
are still lingering as a kind of token

are vivid from the last time we parted
and your face with its sweet serenity
in my mind is glowing warm hearted
and I do love you and I want to see

into the depths of your soul and spirit
look past the lovely outer covering,
I want to examine your mind bit by bit,
do want to know about you everything

as in my blood, soul and heart you remain
as my wife in times of joy, bliss and pain.
