When We Found Love

I never imagined I’d feel this way,
Nor had I ever expected to see,
A gentle soul, one ordinary day,
Have, extraordinary love for me;

A mate I had asked the Savior to find,
After petitioning, He heard my plea,
Like stars in heaven, our hearts he aligned,
Adulation happened quite suddenly;

We conversed and began to realize,
Our meeting was not by happenstance,
We had prayed for love and God heard our cries,
Humbly implored and He gave us a chance;

We’d searched all over, except up above,
Sought help from the Lord, that’s when we found love.

Loved your sonnet. Brilliant. Words about love and feelings. So important now to think of love in these difficult times with innocent families being broken by this insane invasion. Look forward to reading more of your sonnets. Tony.

WoW! Valerie, What a well-written, lovely and romantic sonnet about one finding their soul mate? It reads like a true story, is it true? If it so, you two are blessed to have found one another. I enjoyed the read. Have a great day and weekend:-)Alexis

A very fine sonnet. Positive and revealing that romance must be within the light of truth--for the heart must have faith in the truth of the one it loves.. A fav-- God bless...

Perfect sonnet - almost. If you’re doing a 10-syllable per line, I think stanza 1 4th line lacks 1. Sorry for the nitpick, but this doesn’t divert to the overall theme of finding love. Great job.
