A Token Poem by Gert Strydom

Send me some token to remain
as a sign of the feelings which between us grow
and in years and times of pain
I will of this as a confirmation know.

I do not beg a ring
or even a long letter
or even a small thing,
but want something much better.

Your picture, your voice
is drawing me close
and from my own choice
I need something for you to enclose:

Just a word that you love me as before,
and the notion that you know that I love you much more.
