"Time well Spent

While I prayed one night on my knees
I ended with I love you lord, oh yes indeed.
A shiver ran down my spine
“how do you love me it said”.
And I could not reply.

How do you love someone who isnt there?
Not a word or sound is uttered when I’m in despair.
No touch no sight
No bright light.
No warm hugs to soothe me at night
Only walls of solitude where they all once stood.

Then it came to be..
How I loved; and whom? Oh yes by far..
So many loves lost to the stars.
And have I loved all therein?
A creeping death gave way as I searched within.

So many loves have scattered in the breeze…
What do I know of love and how its to be?
I knelt before the light
Took in its Godly might.
In time through toiled hands
Through books and good works by my fellow man.
God came to BE and then HE made me SEE.
Even when a heart is broken ten fold,
Love is a choice, through flaws that end and break.
Its stirs and strikes like the venom of a snake!
Be weary else nothing will ever fall in its place.
Peace at once, at last I know..

Through work I’ve known
Through the books I’m told
Through time well spent..
I’ve come to know the Christ, but least yet,

Oh, how I’ve loved and so I say
I love you Lord, now and forever..
Come what may.
