   Love looked my way
today
   from the shadows of
a heartache
   tentatively touching a
heart grown cold.
   Love called to me
in whisper soft words
   from the lips of a
broken hearted man
   stealing my heart and
warming my soul.
   Love took me by the
hand
   leading me straight
into his arms
   to touch to heal the
hurt that lies there.
   Love challenged me
today
   to let the past
lie buried
   and walk into a
new heart a new dream
   Love won.

This is definitely a favorite. I think my work is on the other end of the spectrum compared to yours, it truly compliments my emotional state right now.
Thank you for writing this.

It's lovely.

Paula,

As they saying goes, "love conquers all".  Happy to see you have found love again.  Bet you deserve it.
