I have found my healing
Here tonight in your eyes
They shine with love
Holding no hidden disguise

The way was so long
My journey was rough
The ends that I’d go to for this
Just don’t seem to be enough

Somehow the road
Led me here to your side
In your honest true heart
I willingly confide

I profess my love
To heaven and earth
All hear me say
You’ve given life worth

My prayers have been answered
God Himself sent you to me
A living breathing sign
Of all that has come to be

I have paid the price
Enduring what came
No longer do I have to play
Those awful shallow games

The time is upon us
To look to the future now
Sincerity and honesty
Are our solemn vow

We’ll worship our God
Giving glory and thanks
For one day we’ll see Him
On Jordan’s prosperous banks

Ours will be a partnership
Of man and wife
Joined together eternally
Our love will thrive

I pledge to you
From this day on
The happiness you feel
Has only just begun

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beautiful, Lone Wolf.  

Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Love is such a splendid thing. Beautifully written.

Beautiful write of devotion, LW...thanks for sharing this promising outlook...

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...

This should be in a book of devotions, it is wonderfully woven!

Cpat Hair: Thank you much, they just kind of came to me this afternoon.  

Tovi: Thank you!

Interloper: Now I just have to find someone to give it to, then I'll be all set.  

Logan: I hope and pray they are, my friend.

2dalimit: It sure is and nothing can conquer true love.

Secret Whisper: Amen!

snowpants: You are welcome and we all need a little hope in our lives.  Hate to think of where we'd be without it.  

Kathleen: Aw, I am blushing here.  Thank you, sweetheart.  Someday it may just be.

Elizabeth: Thank you!
