Patient Love
You came like an angel to brighten her life.
Invited dreams where hope was rarely found.
Fantasizing happiness free from strife.
Naivity, charming goodness unbound.
You offered a safe haven from pain’s sound.
Her trust and joy grew while esteeming you.
Her past, long loved, finally heard adieu.
In your heart, her dreams, begin to unfold.
Willing to make it work and start anew.
Patient love makes life more precious than gold.
