Much More Than An Angel (Villanelle) Poem by Gert Strydom

That you are from heaven I know,
much more than an angel you are to me
where you are making paradise here below,

His own child God did on me bestow
and your soul and spirit in your eyes I do see.
That you are from heaven I know

and God's presence does with the morning sun glow,
where our love seem as if it will last to eternity,
where you are making paradise here below

and whatever destiny does to the two of us throw,
more than just all-right everything will surely be.
That you are from heaven I know,

where in every word en act you do true love show,
do help others in world of pain and iniquity,
where you are making paradise here below

and at times your tears do like rivers flow,
while for others you do have great pity.
That you are from heaven I know,
where you are making paradise here below.
