You Are Beautiful (Rondeau) Poem by Gert Strydom

You are beautiful and sincerely I do love you
and I do recall you whatever in life I do,
where it's no fun being away and lonely,
where you are more than the world for me
and I am locked-down and at times feel blue.

How much I wish life the usual way to be,
where our feelings for each other remain true
and although you and I are now not at liberty,
you are beautiful.

This virus and being away wears me through,
while over rights people riot and do argue
and nobody is from state control now free,
but in you I do something more than special see:
you are beautiful.
