About this piece
I wrote this piece on valentine's day,it's one of the poems I hold very dear. Everyone was celebrating their loved ones on that day and I sat down, asked myself, who's my love? A gentle inner voice whispered; God. The only thing I had at the moment were words, so I offered words.
<WORDS FOR MY LOVE>
Thank you, Lord, for this gift of words,
A canvas for emotions, a voice that's heard.
With every line, my heart finds peace,
In every verse, your love I release.
You gave me life, and this gift to share,
A treasure to express, and show I care.
Thank you for this voice, that speaks from the soul,
A blessing to cherish, a story to unfold.
I have nothing expensive to offer,
But these words you poured into my soul.
A treasure of verse, a gift divine,
A reflection of love, forever mine.
You asked for nothing, yet gave so much,
A gift of expression, a heartfelt touch.
I'll cherish these words, and share with glee,
A token of gratitude, for you and me.
Pour your love into my heart, dear Lord,
Let your word fill my soul, like a sacred chord.
Bring down your kingdom, let it come to me,
A vessel of love, a servant true and free.
May your spirit guide me, may your truth shine bright,
Let me be a light, in the dark of night.
Your love is my strength, your word my way,
In your presence, I find peace, every day.
