I Do Adore You (1) Poem by Gert Strydom

I do adore you and you are in my marrow, soul and sprit
as an angel that can be more than a wife to me,
where for many years I am under your spell,
where you do entrust me with your painful things and ideals
and as a woman you are flesh of my own flesh

but now a virus comes that perseveres and do continue
of which a person reads far too many death notices,
which the UN views as maybe permanent.
I do adore you,

where still I do trust on God without fear,
know that He can give life and can heal all illnesses,
where you have got a place in my most beautiful memories
and still I want to build a future with you:
I do adore you.
