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.
