Love Answers Prayers

I fell in love with him the way
A mother falls for her newborn
Hard, fast and without any inhibitions
Loving completely without conditions
With a love that is alive and essential

Love like this doesn’t come around but once
It happens that I found him in my same town
Alive and willing to give from his heart’s core
Deliverance for me, a promise and a dream
More than a feeling – a feeling that believes

Everything that happens has it’s reason
The reason for this love is given from the Creator
It is love so giving and willing to listen
That brings life to the giver and the receiver
Life that is full of passion rising from forever

Like a tender whisper echoes in the heart
The feelings brought about by his warmth
Were filling me with a sense of purpose and fulfillment
Feelings that were wise, strong and overpowering
Touching me in places I’d never imagined

Heaven knows the spirit’s fire and resilience
The way a shadow of insight fulfills broken promises
Reflecting the sunlight across the blackest nights
Sending a wealth of wisdom through the senses
Gentleness that teaches inspiration has a purpose

A rose in bloom might fade away as petals fall
But a love this strong will grow more intimate
More promising and passionate with the passing
Of time, like a rhyme that needs only be written
Proving the intuition, the vision, of the author

Feelings this clever and wise, so clear they grasp desire
With both hands, both hearts, both hopes, both dreams
Opening up the inner yearnings to be blessed and fortunate
Enough to realize that God has given them a gift that lives
On the inside, where nothing and no one can destroy it

Love is God’s sweetest gift to His children
And I know love like this is timeless, everlasting
A sensation that is adoring, tender and willing 
To bring truth into the open where it can be shared
Between two lovers who know love answers prayers!
