Whether I Win Or At Time Do Down Fall (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

In a world of hardship, calamity and woe
you are in my heart, my blood and my head
and your image remains wherever I do go
you come to me in dreams even in my bed

whether I win or at time do down fall
you are my constant greatest truest friend
my sweetest lovely love and my all in all
that loyally sticks to me to the very end

and whether my enemies go to any length
and of their deeds I learn things here and there
in you I do find my comfort and my strength
while constantly you do truly support and care

and while against destiny and enemies I am at rage
to you I do write humble little words on a page.
