You Fill My Bowl

My dearest love who makes me whole Fills drafty places in my soul Where grief and sorrow left a hole Your loving ladle fills my bowl Each loving touch removes a trace of painful scars that mark a place where hateful love seared every space Sad, broken life and battered face Your love a rare and precious pearl New hope and joy we will unfurl Forever blessed, my heart's a whirl Transcends all pain poured on this girl .
