An Act of Love

I won't ever forget the first time I saw her smile Or her sparkling eyes as she gazed at me from a distance It was really a magic moment while I stood there infront of her The scent of fresh rain coated the unforgetable scene My heart began to race; she truly is beautiful Oh I recall when I saw my future in her eyes; it was but a dream And when I saw her in the scenes of my dreams they were but deep thoughts Yet the pain I hold inside won't allow me to breathe I won't ever deny that I was happy by her side Yet I must let her go, for that is true love To give what you hold dearest for their own good I have realized why she no longer stands in my life Never I have I felt this peace in times of pain For I have lost it all, all but my life Strong are my limbs, and with fortitude I shall rise again I trust in You my God in your love and grace I will seek and serve you first my God I know that You will provide that significant other in my life A soulmate, a partner in whose acts You shall be glorified Until all, I worship You my father

Beautiful writing here, Edward ... the first sentence of the 4th stanza needs to have the first "I" removed ... you probably mean to say: "Never have I felt this peace in times of pain" ... now its perfect ... smile ... thanks so much for your recent comments and if I haven't already said it, Welcome to PoetrySoup!

Beautiful prayer, Eduardo. There is a saying that goes something like this...when love walks out, let it go and if it was meant to be it will return...This is a new year and our Father hears our prayers! Great write! Thank you for your kind comments. Peace...Audrey
