Notes About The Poem

Even in the darkest of times, light penetrates to gift hope.

And that hope has saved many a life, as it oft is divinely sent.

Meant To Be, Therefore Will Forever Last

Meant To Be, Therefore Will Forever Last

Heaven was her first soft, passionate kiss
Begging, beg I for more, far more of this
Night's splendor, in her silk covered bed
Treasure, promise that one day we would wed
Live out our lives, loving our Fated trek
Without her this poor soul would be a wreck.

Heaven was her laugh, her beaming bright smile
Her perfume, her traveling in grand style
Her pretty tanned face, those sexy legs
Such rare beauty would make any man beg
Blessing that we were matched as a pair
Destined to our married lives share.

Heaven was her asking me on a date
Some say mere chance, I call it Hand of Fate
In life we are blessed, oft know not why
Love comes as a gift from Heavenly sky
I believe our love was Heavenly cast
Meant to be, therefore will forever last.

Heaven sent me a sweet angel divine.
Our lives blessed and as romance defines.

Romanticism, ( When Fate finally gaveth of its golden treasures )

Note:
Seeking to end this year on a high note
I decided to compose a new poem about
The dear blessing, the true love of my life
I know this very dark and tragically sad year,
Has brought from me many dark poems-
Yet this last poem of this depressive year
Shall be one of hope, blessing, romance,
family and a gift that was most assuredly 
Heaven sent. My darling beautiful wife,
and our blessed Family. My blessing of
Being a poet and having the honor to 
Gift words unto this world, with the hope 
That such helps others and  may inspire
New, young writers to venture forth, write
And thus give of heart and soul to benefit
 others. If so- my time spent was not in vain.

Thank you my friend. Well, I did take a bit of leeway in who actually did the asking. As poets that goes with the territory. Wishing you a happy New Year my friend. God bless..
