The Depth of Love

THE DEPTH OF LOVE My pen drips of sorrow and on this paper I write each tear I've lost the one whom I love so dear He's gone from me like a wisp of smoke The moment he left, my poor heart broke Velvet rose petals – crimson red Plucked from the bier where her love lay dead In her face is seen grief and sorrow She wonders how she'll face tomorrow As she recalls the day they met At this small country church she'll never forget The day they were wed in marital bliss The years they shared, now to be missed In this same little church, she comes today To mourn for her lover who passed away The one who, like yesterday, it seems Fulfilled the desires of her every dream Death came too soon to her soul mate Their life together had been so great Laying before her in sweet repose Appearing as if in a peaceful doze Who can bring comfort to one so distraught Whose mind is filled with just one thought The thought of living her life alone Now that her only love is gone But there's comfort unequal, sent from above From the God of Heaven through His great love The serenity is felt in a warming way With a peace that she knows is there to stay Though her life has been totally changed forever She has a love that will leave her never A love that paid the ultimate price That only comes from Jesus Christ Curtis Moorman 14 August 2011 Contest: Just Write By: Constance La France
