Free To Dance!

Like a diamond, sparkling so bright
Just out of reach, want to grab on tight.

Admiration and desire grow in my heart
Little did I realize it would tear me apart.

The grass looked greener, thought it would be sweet
Forbidden fruit—nothing but deceit.

“No one will know; no one will be hurt.”
It’s a lie!  Don’t even flirt.

My eyes were opened before it was too late
Thank you for saving me from a terrible fate.

I see the one before me with whom I am one
There’s no one else for me under the sun.

I’m happy, content, at total peace
Love, rediscovered, will never cease.

So thank you, Lord for a second chance
I’m free as a bird; once again I can dance!
