Before and After Christ Jesus

Before I met you,
I had searched among men,
I had searched among women,
But I didn’t find any of your kind 
I had searched all over in vain.
I didn’t find you on the mountain
I didn’t find you at the ocean
I didn’t find you in the park
I didn’t find you in a song,
You were not in a poem
Yet you were a mystery 
You were here, there, everywhere.

Then I met you;
A new chapter began in my life
That ushered a world of unknown adventure
And unending intense pleasure.
Like a flower my life blossomed
And bore fruits of pure joy
In the new everlasting light
For I had found myself the true love
A love more precious than a treasure-trove
A love so high than the sky above
And so deep than the ocean
The kind of love that isn’t mean
The Agape love of Christ Jesus!
