Real Love
Time brought with it a beautiful
Far prettier than the faded photos, the images
That reminded me of a life in the past,
Whispers of kindness, the gentlest caress…
Happiness pouring over my special wish,
Promising hope to bring with it the blessing
Time brought with it a tenderness
To bruise the mind with sensitivity, caring
Beyond what the heart might have known,
Affectionate like the very best gifts, the friends
Who know better, know secrets, warmth
That melts away the past, the doubts, the tears
Thaws every frozen dream, brings out
Understanding, feelings that bleed faith within
Time brought with it a miracle
Wonder that would reassure, prompting
The soul to memorize the hopes,
The dreams, the prayers, the pleas for grace
Feelings that blend with the spiritual place
Erase all the sorrows, the clouds, worries
With the awesomeness of a love
Far bigger, far better, far brighter than any
Love that the heart has ever know
This is love that only God could have shown
