You Have Guts (Sicilian Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

You truly have guts, grit and beauty,
lovely eyes that do with passion glow.
About your kind caring heart I do know:
you do sad the hardship of others see:

people in the Ukraine that want to stay free,
citizens fight against Russia blow by blow,
about their desperation your tears flow,
where you and I, want it different to be.

You are wise and mature and a perfect mate,
you live by conviction: Ukraine is our back-yard,
believe sincerely in love rather than hate,
are from the lessons in life very smart.
When the regime do support to Russia state;
we are wronged, like our folk from them apart.
