Sonnet 48: I Am Here To Look After My Sweetheart Poem by David Wood

Sonnet 48: I Am Here To Look After My Sweetheart



I am here to look after my sweetheart
Whose sickness has taken me by surprise
I pray that the doctors will play their part
And from the prognosis what they’ll surmise.
It pains me to see my dear love unwell
For it wounds my heart with such deep sorrow
Now life is uncertain of what may tell
We go back to the doctors tomorrow.
What the outcome will be nobody knows
And I now fear for my frail wife’s poor health,
For in sickness and good health thee I chose
For your recovery I’d give all my wealth.
Oh, what has made my lovely so unwell?
I pray that it will be for a short spell.

The inalienable connection of two souls bonded in love! I am sorry, God didn't grant your prayer! Be comforted with the thought that she is smiling at you from her heavenly abode above! A very moving write! !

Worry, trepidation, fear, foreboding... An unsettling sonnet, yet you still manage to convey hope and love.
