Answered Prayer

I prayed for Love

And God sent you

I thought it was a laugh

You’re not the person

I’d pick out

To be my other half

You’re nothing like the

Lover that I thought

That I would find

And yet you fit

The qualities I’d

Settled in my mind

You have so many

 Traits I didn’t know

 I even wanted

And yet these

Are the very substance

Of which my heart is haunted

I asked for friendship that

I thought would gradually

Grow to love

But that was not what

God has planned from

His throne up high above

Because of heartaches

Over years my heart

I had to block

But you walked in

And had the key

To open up the lock

I’m open now to

Pain and sorrow if

You choose to leave

But my heart will

Overflow with joy

If you also believe
