L.Ords O.Nly V.Ision E.Mbodied By Me

Some die for and some lie for but it lies in the truth,
This, which the Lord has given to me from birth.
Untouched but it's still there from youth,
It manifests within for you are my earth.
This which God has blessed me with is as precious as the skies,
For no man shall take it away from me.
At first sight of my young and tender eyes,
Is it an angel that has appeared in front of me?
As time passes it matures,
And as time continues it endures.
Lord knows no time,
For the time is a test and nothing more.
Shall it last through the sands?
Or shall it get buried as it pours,
Like an hour glass, but I shall not fret.
Visions of happiness and God's smile appear,
As it burns within my heart.
For my soul holds dear and near,
God has placed us here in this same place and this same moment.
For this love has spent an eternity inside me since my conception.
