There Is Something Special In What Life Is Poem by Gert Strydom

There is something special in what life is,
something that is far more than mere bliss
as if there is much more to life than just this,
as if some magic is present in every kiss

as if life is far more than that which comes

through each and every sense,
far deeper and much more intense
than just that which we do experience
and even if we do act with a incompetence

still life goes on as it runs the sands of time

and life does find its own way
in all of the thing of every day
that we do and in what we do say
and there is something more when we play

and when we laugh and cry

as if a hidden meaning is constantly present
as if a secret kind of depth is just to be found
in each experience and intent
and something is caught up in every sound

as if the whole world is filled with a kind of joy

and we wilt and are effervescent
but it’s as if God in all things does glow
and there is something in how every moment is spent
and in what we are learning to know

and together you and I have grown

to be part of each other
and we will not find the same depth with another
and wherever we may go
we do love each other so

and you are far more

than just my intimate play thing
you are my companion, my wife and darling,
the one with whom I find a kind of inner peace,
without whom all the meaning of my life does cease.
