Seeing You Now Feels Like Next To Never (Rondeau) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for my wife Daleen)

During the virus I am waiting for you
and your sincere love pulls me through,
where before God we did swear forever,
seeing you now feels like next to never.
Whatever I do the missing does continue

and it feels if destiny does us severe,
while both of us are to each other true,
but too many people are dying, however,
during the virus

our love I want to much deeper pursue,
do want to know you in everything that I do,
while on television a scientist holds himself clever
and illnesses and deaths are more than ever
during the virus.
