To Whom It May Concern

My love is

How much it cost from someone who cares.
How much was the giving from someone who dares.
How much the wanting from someone who stares
How much the waiting before fear declares.
How much suffering was given to repair.
How much sorrow before becoming dispair
How much was love before climbing the stairs
How much wishing before becoming a pair.

How much fantasy before something occurs.
How much waiting before it all becomes a blur.
How much waiting before love becomes a verb
How much patience  before emotions become stirred.
How much secret caring before something becomes disturbs
How much of thoughts disturbing before she comes to know
How much crazy debating before bravery finally shows
How much more delaying before a kiss makes time to show

I prayed for people who eventually changed or were healed, but some never changed that I know about and they died. I know that God answered several prayers, so He does answer prayer/s. Sometimes our how much goes unanswered but sometimes we are allowed to have an answer and sometimes we wish that we did not know. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Sara K.
