I Give Him To You

Speechlessly,
I fell to my knees
with tears in my eyes.

I wept, 
till I could not 
weep no more.

God stood before me, 
with his arms reaching out 
to pick me up.

Upon bringing me to my feet, 
I saw, next to him 
stood a man.

God spoke in gentleness,
“Take this man, 
I give him to you. 
He will love you 
beyond no measure, 
and never 
give up on you. 

When the world 
is untrue to you, 
fear not, 
this man 
I bless you with 
will always, 
be true to your heart.”

Slowly, 
as I looked 
into this man’s eyes, 
God bound 
our hearts 
with the lock of eternity.

This man, 
my friend and companion, 
is no doubt a match 
from heaven sent.

Through the tests 
of the world, 
the key 
has never been found, 
to unlock the chains 
that bind our hearts.

Never, 
take it for granted 
when love, 
is a gift from above.

Believe in it, 
cherish it, 
and be thankful,
for not all 
are given the chances 
that true 
infinite love brings.

With the closing,
of your eyes at night 
and the reopening 
in the morning light, 

Thank God
for what he gives you, 
for it may be 
the one 
he has blessed you with!!!
