Love Comes Softly (A little song)

Quietly, softly the footsteps are coming
Slowly approaching a frail, tender heart
Something is there in the mist of the morning
Something is waiting and ready to start

Silently life drapes a veil of enchantment
Over the deepness and  black of your eye
No word has been spoken, no sign has been given
But you know there’s something your heart can’t deny


   This is what life has been trying to tell you
   This is a gift you will cherish within
   I have a feeling your heart has surrendered
   I think that love is about to begin


You had a dream of a starry-like evening
Now you are waking to yellow and green
Everything’s brighter and everything’s lovely
You’re seeing colors you never had seen

All of your dreams have escaped from your window
All of your plans you must now rearrange
Nothing is clear in the mist of the morning
All that was certain’s beginning to change


    This is what life has been trying to tell you
    This is a gift you will cherish within
    I have a feeling your heart has surrendered
    I think that love is about to begin

Isn't it wonderful how love does this?  Yes, it is!  What a wonderful poem!
