I ran from
love so many times,
My heart
could stand no more.
And just
when I thought I’d not find love,
We made a
connection and began to explore.
I struggled,
should I let you in?
Should I
open up and risk the pain?
But, oh this
time it felt so right,
I had nothing
to lose and all to gain.
So I took
a chance and laid my heart
Exposed and
open to see.
God answered
my fervent prayers, I thought,
This is the
one for me.
I can’t
describe the joy I felt,
Words put
me by your side.
The intensity
of my love for you
Is something
I cannot hide.
Your words
are like a warm embrace,
They thrill
my very soul,
With so much
joy and happiness,
My life may
now be whole!
Your words;
they soothe and make me smile,
Like a symphony
to my ears.
And when
I’m wrapped up in your soul,
It takes
away my fears.
I questioned
God, "Why take so long
To bring
this love around?
Why wasn’t
it many years ago?
Such love
I’ve never found?"
I heard him
gently say, "My child,
You had so
much to learn,
Before you
could appreciate,
That for
which you yearned.
You had to
grow and realize,
On me you
could depend,
To provide
for you your every need,
Before your
pain could end.
Please understand,
my heart it ached,
To see you
suffer, son.
I had to
turn away each time
You always
chose to run.
But with
each broken heart, you see,
You’ve
learned so very much.
And now you’re
ready for this love,
Your tender
heart to touch."
I thought
about the things He spoke
Unto my heart
right then,
And realized
He was so right,
To send you
now, not then.
For now I
can appreciate,
You so much
more, my queen.
And I know
that deep within my soul,
How much
more you really mean.
To share
my life, my hopes, my dreams,
My laughter
and my tears,
As I will
share yours too as we,
Walk softly
through the years.
Now every
night as I lay down,
And pray
to Him above,
I say a special
prayer of thanks,
For sending
you, Mahal, my love.
