From The Very First Glance (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Daleen)

I do love you in days of sun and rain,
do recall your bright and beautiful smile
and know you in both pleasure and pain
but I have not been with you for a while.

You do make my heart, soul and spirit sing
and to me you are perfect, sweet and fair,
in my memory remains your glance giving
and the locks and colour of your blonde hair.

In you I did a great companion find,
from the very first glances my love begun
and now constantly you are in my mind,
to me you do remain the only one,

who know me completely in my life,
who are my dear friend and lovely wife.
