A Thousand Lifetimes I have sailed a thousand journeys I have lived a thousand dreams I have held a thousand wishes Planed a thousand foolish schemes I have lost tenfold and more times I have wandered paths alone I have fought enormous battles Slaying dragons on my own I have spanned the highest reaches I have gazed at far most stars But in all my expectations Never realized love like ours I have knelt to God in reverence I have humbled many men Spent a lifetime simply searching Traveling far and back again I have borne the grief of many I have lived the life of few But I’ve never loved another Quite the way that I love you I have pondered all life’s mysteries I have written words in rhyme I have cursed the saints in heaven Held the hand of love in mine I have dug a thousand trenches Buried pasts and let them lay I’ve revealed a thousand secrets In the words I’ve had to say And if now my journeys ended If I’ve lived all I can be Let me sleep the sleep of ages Content in knowing you loved me ~ Ruth If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

I don't know who made the request, Ruth... but I'm sure glad they did... however, if you made it a Book Submission, I could come back and vote! |

Now if only I lived a life such as that...imagine the adventures...the knowledge...the wisdom...what an epic tale. Wonderfully written. I can't even pick a favourite line! Blessed Be Thee! - Stephanie Every heart has hidden treasures...a secret wish, a silent dream, and a cherished love. [Unknown] |
