I once was looking for love and I could not find it.
It eluded me for many years.
That which I believed to be love was only a vanishing mist over the waters of fantasy;
the deep waters of fantasy.
I dared to dip my toe past the mist into the cool wetness of liquid reality.
Refreshing as it was, still it was not truth.
I once was looking for love.
“I’ve been calling out to you,” said Love,
“You have ignored My pleas.”
“Who are you,” I called, “Are you the love I’ve so longed for?”
“I AM.”
I once was looking for love and I found the only Love that mattered.
His love forgave me; His love swept me far off into distant lands of truth.
Truth is love; love is Truth.
As I grew in True Love, a gift was given:
Another love, tangible but just as true.
“Is this mine, too?”
“It is.”
Truth gave me a gift in you.
A love that can be touched;
a love that can physically convey the True Love.
He gave me you.
You are my gift.
I will cherish you always.
I once was looking for love and True Love gave me you.
