You Were There... Poem by Lukie Pieterse

In the winter of my sorrows
In the autumn of my hope
In the spring of my awakening
In the summer of my joy
You were there

Your gentle touch eased my pain
Your caring presence stilled my restless soul
With little bare feet you stepped into my heart
Treading ever so lovingly
And I drank from the cup of Hope that you brought
And I ate the bread of Faith you offered in selfless and and blind trust
Trust in a tomorrow so fair, yet so far

And I dreamed of our Love enduring beyond time
And my body glowed warm with want to enter your tiny frame
And my mind reached out to yours in unashamed need for more
And my soul took flight in search of yours
And when at last our souls made love in passionate embrace

I knew...

In the winter of my sorrows
In the autumn of my hope
In the spring of my awakening
In the summer of my joy

You were always there
And I will never let you go...
