Embracing – Poem of November 2024

“beminnen” comes from the book “Gedachten aan Maria” from 2022 and is the Marian poem for November 2024

sweetheart Maria
and vice versa
this mutual love
goes much further
to keep liking
There is trust
to share
loneliness due to illness
Pain and despair
Book pluses name
makes the band
visibly closer
Maria's feelings
energy and strength
Every day
to work
to greater well-being
That is most certainly
doesn't come by itself
with deep reverence
to cherish the relationship
carries love
to eternity
