| I looked for a love that would never let me go- One that would not fade with time or that would never grow too old. I knew that my beloved would calm my fears and hold me when I cried- And that he would overlook my faults and forgive me if I lied. I imagined a love that wished me to be sincere, honest and true, And one that taught me how to do the best that I could do. I longed for a man with passion - like a sunset or a gentle breeze- And innocence - like a baby learning to laugh by watching me. I held out for everlasting love so I wouldn’t be hurt anymore- Like when Grandma died or when Sarah said she didn’t want to be friends like before. I needed to be held by arms that were much stronger than me Because I’m stubborn and sometimes run after illusions and dreams. I wanted someone to listen when I complained about my job And understand like no one else the pain hidden in a sob. I searched for peace, patience, and grace - because love is made of these- And someone who would be right there if I were knocked down to my knees. I envisioned him transporting me to exotic, far-away lands When he told me a story or just took hold of my hand. I prayed for a wise man who would think long and hard for truth Because sometimes I get confused when the choices all look good. I listened for a voice that could whisper like the wind And sing with all the heavenly host an anthem without end. I desired a true love to send me flowers on ordinary days- Because ordinary days are filled with worry, sin, and hate. I lived my life to find that prince that God sent to earth just for me - And at last on my knees I found Him - hanging on a rugged tree. |
