Life anew...

All my life I was searching
Trying just to find
A mate to join with me his soul
Sharing happiness of mind

Perhaps by chance it came to be
Or may be all of plan
That my search ended for me then
And I found my perfect man

He wrote of words that haunted me
And life began anew
He was a light in a darkened place
Where love within me grew

The days passed by so quickly then
Each, a blessed one
Together we grew closer
And found life had just begun

And though we know without a doubt
We two will never meet
A contentment simmers deep within
Our hearts as one do beat

A gift we both were given
From someone up above
A chance to share all that we have
And bask in each other's love

Who knows why things do happen
In our lives and why they are
That is not ours to question
But to cherish from afar

My love for you, my dear one
Grows more powerful day by day
And if tomorrow was the end of all
I've had you to pave my way...
