Love Renewed

When her love for him made her soul awaken
The light from within made her life worth living
She prayed his love for her would n’er be taken

But the pain of parting would soon come calling
She vowed that her heart would n’er be shattered
So, she lived beneath a shield, spirit falling

As time went by she knew love was what mattered
With the promise that a new love might prevail
She lay down the shield, willed life to be conquered

Her mate at her side she knew love wouldn’t fail
As shoulder to shoulder their lives joined as one
That shield that was once there no longer a veil

She opened her heart, and her worries were none
With peace in her soul once true love had begun.
