My Doll, Life Plays With Us A Cruel Game (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Sometimes in life and love I have got faith and great hope,
when I long back for the pretty days with you
then I want to change this life with something better,
baptize you into the most wonderful things that do exist
where we are destined to walk together through life
and for that which life really is and its scope I am not afraid,
where God's love and great mercy do constantly hang over us,
still the fullness of love lies open in the future.
My doll, life plays with us a cruel game
but you do depend on it that I do truly do love you
and I only ask for that, which is beautiful and sincere,
the love between you and me I cannot put into words,
where we do over and over end and start again
and over rough abysses we have got to help and carry each other.
