Union (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

In me to my mother tongue and country there is a bond
and the Capital City that is full of jacaranda trees
but deeper than this it's in you that I am lost,
you know me in my humanity and also every secret.
In my faith, hope and trust the Lord God does remain
and the decrees of each small and great command
where He walks in advance and sets every day
but with you I am intimately infatuated as a mere human being.
From my blood to my family I am related closely
and this bloodline stays true in all of my life,
where it's more attached to persons than mere friends
but to me you are greater and more than anyone,
where everything that we are and together do become
is something on which God pours His blessings out.
