God Given

I look down at this paper with tears rolling down my cheeks
And a feeling of warmth goes over my entire body
That warmth, my thought of you, so much more than it seems
I close my eyes and thank the Lord for the special person he gave to me.
A love so real and beautiful, you, The Man of My Dreams.


Now, I look out the window of the room to watch the rain
I think of how far I've come and how many times I've paid a price
I wonder how I made it to today, through the losses and the pain.
I realize why, as it rains harder... so you and I could find each other twice.


I'm suddenly smiling, its a miracle to be granted a second chance
The first time was our silent introduction, God just wanted us to meet
The moment I set eyes on you and you responded with that glance
I knew something was up, you should have felt my heartbeat...


To have finally gained a bright light in my life.
It gave me a reason to ease away from the shadows of my past.
Now there is a future for us, I would be honored to be your wife
There is no doubt our God-given love will surely last


Every sweet kiss and heartfelt hug will be true to the touch
All our trials will just make us more than strong
Because I'm going to have an awesome husband who I will love very much
An everlasting journey, together, hand in hand, where we belong.

This poem is so nostalgic to an island boy, who has the sea at his doorstep. In hear the words: I must go down to the sea again - remember that poet? Love always
