During The Covid-19 Pandemic Poem by Gert Strydom

I do want to ask for your patience in this time,
where continually I am praying for God's grace,
I only want to contribute to beauty in your life,

I pray that God do unlock His secrets to me,
as He still does hold all of humanity in His hand
and constantly I see new seedlings rising

but death through a pestilence keeps bothering me
and of you I do only remember the beautiful things.
I do want to ask for your patience in this time,

and outside weavers and sparrows do always twitter,
do continually bring the love of God to me,
as He still does hold all of humanity in His hand,

were more than precious you remain in my heart
and I pray for your protection against all evil things.
I only want to contribute to beauty in your life.

I know that spring will be coming full of surprises
and that the small miracles in my life
do continually bring the love of God to me,

but in the news I see the misbehaviour of people,
in news-reports about plundering and damage.
I do want to ask for your patience in this time,

as our love is something precious and also sublime.
I know that at a time the virus will disappear
and that the small miracles in my life

do carry His omnipotence and love over to me
and sometimes I do act brave.
I only want to contribute to beauty in your life.

I do see the sun shining each day bright full of promise,
it's as if I keep seeing God'\s presence.
I know that at a time the virus will disappear

and it's as if politicians recite empty words on television
but in all of this you are my darling and my wife.
I do want to ask for your patience in this time.
I only want to contribute to beauty in your life,

where you and I and many people do serve God.
I pray that God do unlock His secrets to me,
it's as if I keep seeing God'\s presence
and constantly I see new seedlings rising.
