The time when suddenly spring does unfold <br />when skies are crystal clear, sunny and blue <br />in blossoming trees and flowers I do behold <br />and still my deep feelings for you are true <br /> <br />when all of nature is gay, full of life, <br />when the season is more hot than temperate <br />and it's a great blessing that you are my wife <br />that together daily we do face fate <br /> <br />and although at times you bring me pain <br />there is loveliness that on your face I see <br />and our feelings of affection and love does remain <br />as if by God's own hand they are set to be <br /> <br />as if from the creation together we do belong, <br />still my love for you daily grows more strong.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-time-when-suddenly-spring-does-unfold-english-sonnet/
