Love Poem: Answered Prayer

Answered Prayer

In spirit strong I prayed for your return
recalling daily memories, precious, dear.
No other understands my love for you
forgiveness that a heart went on to bear.

Sometimes I faced the dread of never knowing,
the love we had before my days were done.
So, it was as my pulse and steps were slowing
I begged my God for your return to come.

In one morning’s, twilight day, God answered
and soon caresses lived outside my dreams.
This second time around possessed a promise.
Your heart professed a true love as it seems.

In winter’s frost our romance warms the fire.
God bless us that it never will expire.
