Love Story
Like a love story,
Falling softly
Against the pages of my heart,
Words so sensitive,
So wistful, wise and warm…
Words from the spirit
Who I call home, the spirit
Who is the One from where I come,
The One who saved me from
All the wrong, all the dark –
The doubts and despair, the dread
That comes alive inside those
Who feel like His love has passed
Them by, - His atonement,
The reason there is a light so dazzling
In shades of gentle,
Whispering grace, soundless
Optimistic -
Beyond the shadows,
Promising the wonder that comes
From knowing the love
Who is His only Son, the only ONE
who can write a love story
Over my heart, from the nouns (the truth)
And verbs (the life), the conjunction (the way)
The ones that make up the word
Hope – Hope that never deserts,
Hope that is the reason I’m sure….
Love this alive is the answer, the cure
The motive and the prayer,
The miracle that is more alive than
The thought, the feeling, the time –
His love survives even the worst battle
With darkness, wickedness
Piercing the page with shame
Disgrace that is portrayed
By fears, endless grief – cruelty
His love is the wonder that breathes
Air into the lungs of this color
Crimson like the blood….
I wear to show the world the book
The glue that holds together
My paper, my pen, my forever
And, once again, the parts of me
That is only me because I believe
In the Son who created peace,
The SON who is everything I need
The way, the truth, the life…
Everything that means anything!
Because of Him,
I am free to be the person God
Intended me to be,
The person who believes
Love is worth everything!
