There Was A Particular Day Poem by Gert Strydom

There was a particular day,
that was filled with a life-changing event,
that changed my view,
my perception about beauty and love
and it was the day that I met you.

A day where with suddenness
like the strike of a lightning bolt
your inner beauty, your outer loveliness
changed me, captivated me

and on that day
by the hand you lead me
to your special places, the secret places
that was beautiful to you.

Your laughter, your voice
was sweet in my ear
and I wanted to draw you near to my heart
while with every sincere look
every word you changed my view of life,
helped me to know that I was really living.
