I Do Love You Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

How does the time fly by, my love,
and days are replaced by each other
and months fade away
like darkness in the light of the sun

and years pass almost
like a single breath
and I am amazed and astonished
that a year has already gone by
since we were married

and during this time
you did open my eyes
to the wonders of love

and you did spread the rainbow open
over the days
and coloured my nights.

With words and softness
you opened my life to better things
and you intrigued me with
the depths of your soul

and through your eyes
I saw the sparkle of the sun
on the dew in the mornings
and to you I bloom
like the Karoo
after the seasonal rain
and I saw paradise through your eyes.

May the years that follow
be a continuum of the past
and may our road ahead be smooth
and our journey be pleasant
and our love always does meet us halfway
until we will see our saviour
coming from heavenly places
and until then I do love you.
