I Looked At You On A Nearer View Poem by Gert Strydom

You are not just a biological machine,
you are a sentient living loving being
who act, talk and walk in ways serene.

You are very bright, pleasant and good,
do live by the faith of your childhood
and do provide to others their daily food.

You act and talk with a levelheaded will
do endure, teach and command with skill,
do the lives of others with joy and love fill.

Your life to others is full of simple wiles
as you act self-sacrificing, do drive miles,
daily give out embraces and tender smiles.

Without you there is no meaning to my life
as you are an angel in a world with evil rife,
you are my best friend and my dearest wife.
