You Are More Than That Person To Me (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

To find a woman that really does care
while we do live, laugh and cry
is nowadays something quite rare
but in this time as life passes by

you are more than that person to me
and I wish so much to again see your face,
where in a lock-down our lives are to be
and I believe that it will pass by God's grace,

where daily we do to all of the rules abide
but missing you remains a terrible thing,
in its wake too many people have died
and a person feels almost guilty to be living.

I miss you so while days without you are spent
and to me you are innocent and eloquent.
