You Ask What Then, My Lamb? (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to my wife, Daleen Enslin)

Do you know that I believe in you and your love?
It is something of hope, trust and faith,
you bring solidity to my unbelief,
in sincerity you have got a lovely ability
to turn everything around although it's upside down,
you are resolute against my superstition,
even if life makes me a hothead.
I know a better tomorrow comes, it's just so.
Also that no death or anything does devour love,
God's compassion is new with rising sun,
still I believe in you with the trust of a child,
that nothing can avert the impact of sincere love,
we are connected to each other past this life
as you are a part of my soul, my spirit and blood.

[References:

The better tomorrow:Matthew 24: 30-31:"30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other."

With pleasure I quote Daleen's poem here:

"Do you know? " by Daleen Enslin

"Do you know how much I love you,
that days do turn without you,
without end or limit.

Do you know that I exist only for you,
every moment of my day do scream your name out,
I notice you in everything around me,
you are my red sunbeam morning glow.

Do you know that I love you,
far past the starry-blanket,
up to the end of time
my darling, I want to say it to you.

Do you know that tomorrow may never come
what then, my lamb,
but now you must know this:
love is as strong as you do believe in it."]
