Obiaje Peter Edigah Poet Sonnet

A Birthday Sonnet for My Beloved

When dawn awoke to mark your blessed day,
The sun seemed pale beside your gentle light;
For love in you outshines the brightest ray,
And turns my darkest hours to pure delight.

In friendship’s bond, so steady, warm, and true,
You walk with me through calm and storm alike;
With faith so firm, I find my strength in you,
A constant flame no passing wind can strike.

Your trust, a gift no treasure can replace,
Your faithful heart, my refuge and my guide;
In humble grace, you wear love’s quiet face,
With dignity and honour as your pride.

So on this day, my heart in joy confess:
In loving you, my life is richly blessed.

Charles Reese March 22, 2026 at 6:02 PM Very well done This English Sonnet form is perfect in style and the words and emotions in it quite beautiful I have only one very tiny suggestion don't start a line with the word "and" It is a filler word that adds nothing to the poem otherwise splendid Sonnet
