My Darling (Sicilian Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

I will protect with everything in my might,
where now I am praying for God's grace,
that His help will be present in every place
while this deadly virus is out of sight

and I urge leaders to do things that are right,
to act correct when away from public praise,
while I miss you so deeply in each day's
challenges and in this time of great fright,

To keep you alive in my mind experiences I use
where to life and living there is still great hope,
but it's as if bit by bit your image I do loose
and daily we do with the things in life alone cope,
where this lock-down is not something we choose
and its stopping and salvation is in God's scope.
