And The Wisdom To Know The Difference.

They told of a tale, one of which she had never heard.
She sat beside the fire, and did not a mutter a word.

There is this power that is said to be rare,
To be found in those with warm hearts, who choose to care.
If one day, you turn out to be chosen,
Let your mind wander, but your heart not lay frozen.
For even in despair, miracles may arrive,
Those unbelievable chances at feeling you’re alive.
This feeling lying deep within your chest,
It is the sound you hear ‘thump’ in the night as you lay to rest.

It keeps your heart in melody and warm as can be,
It is the joyous feeling, that even in the dark, your eyes can see.

You feel as if you’re floating, and your smile shines so bright,
It is the one, if true, keeps you awake at night.
Anxious for the next day to be in his warm embrace,
To feel his arms secure you and make you feel safe.

The one true man who qualifies the standards your father has set,
He is the one who will be there for you, bearing no regret.
He will say you are beautiful, even when you look a mess,
In moments of depression, he will make you feel your best.
He will support you through your difficulties or when something is wrong,
He will be that hopeless romantic, and write you your own lovely little song.
He will write you poetry, though not flowers every day,
He will make you feel beautiful, in every single way.
He will love you strong, like no other can,
He’ll tell you that you’re right, though he can’t fully understand.
He will take the blame even when it is your fault,
He will take you, his angel, and lock you in his vault.
His secret world, his warm, sweet heart,
He wishes you happiness in life and hopes you never part.
But sometimes life gets a little hard and breaks you away,
A time all lovers must face; a moment of dismay.

God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change,
We all must learn some things just must meet their range.
Though it does not mean you should give up, find a way to make love work,
Find a secret place of hope where any faith may lurk.
Just keep trying ‘til there’s no other option left to choose,
Love is always worth the fight, and if it’s real, you never lose.

God grant us the courage to change the things that we can,
To give love no reasoning even when we don’t understand.
Let us be lost, but help us find our way back,
Shield our fragile hearts when we may face an attack.
Convince us in weakness, this is something we can handle.
Give us faith and hope in this never ending battle.
Love is tragic, but it gives us so much strength,
Help us God almighty when we reach our will’s length.

There is no limit to what love can do,
It brings out the worst and the very best in you.
Your significant other shall do the same,
If you choose to love, it shall not be a game.

Faith can move mountains, this you must believe when you say.
Then you will know in your heart, love will find a way.
