No Sweeter Thing

“Love” has evaded me
Past nerves
Past points of no return
Past expiration dates
All elusive creature
Sneaking into dream
Heart
Mind
Tells me
He is “everything” I could ever want
But everything I’ll never get
No matter how I
Try
Push
Prod
& Cry.
But always “me”!
Not me
But Him
Seemingly elusive Lover
Who wants desperately to be
Found
Loved
& Delighted in.
Just like “me.”
Tells me He is all I could ever want
All I’ll need forever
And ready to be found?
Hallelujah!
Shouts of elation pierce through my
Heart
Once drenched in despair
Now covered with care
I have sought Love
I have known Love
And He knows me
There is
No Sweeter Thing
