Harbinger of Love

I feel with thanks this gentle messenger; 
this love herald formed of flesh and bone,
a peaceful, soft and tender hand  
that touches mine, so, so warmly
to tell my heart, you're not alone
 
I hear with wonder this joyful music; 
this song of laughter and compassion, 
a happy, kind and calming voice 
that soothes my oft tormented mind, 
amid its dark and fervid passions

I receive with awe this loving spirit;
this heart filled with caring and devotion,
a grateful, sharing, loving heart  
that holds my own within its grasp 
touching me with true emotions
