I Knew That Together You And I Belong (English Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

In a late cold afternoon's winter gloom
where all of this life felt so limited,
I saw my red rose with open buds bloom,
it reminded me of love unlimited,

I knew that together you and I belong,
that our love is such a wonderful thing
on the slight breeze was the dove's evensong
and to its own mate it was carolling,

with dim twilight I felt alone and small,
knew a hot meal I had still to prepare
and prayed to the Lord God who knows all,
that of you He would kindly take good care.

In my mind I saw your lovely face,
sincerely I love in this time and place.
