-haven of Hope-

love’s gentle story began with you,
solitude no more with sorrow dwindling-
rising in the medallion morn next to your side,
              always wondering why you love me so...

i am freefalling into a haven of hope,
never seeking what was sought before;
leaving doors closed to what used to be, 
for i have been following God’s plan-
         ~His plan for none but me~

saturated in sanctified seeds sown,
knowing i shall never be alone

i stay where i am-
longing for nothing but the continuation
of what i hold dear
                       AND THAT IS YOU MY SWEET...

i needed you before i knew you,
craved you before i tasted love-
embraced your soul at first glance,
then
you took my hand and said “i do”

i gave one yellow rose that hot
june day in 2001;
the day i asked you to marry me-
         (baby, yes never sounded so good)

thank you for your confidence in me,
i can move mountains with your strength-

                  free
                       falling into a HAVEN OF HOPE
