Even If This Rainy-Season Is Grey Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

Even if this blessed rainy-season is grey
you are the sunshine coming into my life,
the one that keeps astounding and surprising me,
you do remain in my painful and beautiful memories.
There is now great beauty that I see in you,
where you are not hiding your feelings.
Now I pray: my Lord, do turn our lives around,
I want to entrust you to His care.

It's as if against the tendency you do become brighter,
where I get greater insight into you,
from your own acts do make my life more beautiful.
I am finding certainty that you do love me.
I pray that He does protect and look after you,
that He will lead you and me in all things.
I want no other woman in my life,
or to rise up with and go to bed than you,
where sorely I do constantly miss you.
I want to tell you about my true love
where you are the most amazing woman to me
and I know that in everything it's only you.
