THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS
When first we met, love at first sight
I thought of you as nothing more
Than someone I could hold at night
To love, to cherish evermore.
But as affections, like rivers, flowed
And deepened with each passing moment
I found in you not just a hand to hold
But a place of peace where I could hide.
You are my paradise of peace
The answer to my whispered prayers
The fruit of fasting, quiet supplications
And those moments of reverence.
Now, what is left for me to do
But devote my life to worship you
My peace paradise.
