And the Day came, when I knew I was Ready.

Ready for Love

And I asked the Lord to send unto me a Man.

Different Men came into my life.

Hurt and Despair were all I knew.

Pain and Desperation where what they brought me.

And My heart Suffered.

And My Soul was Wounded.

By Men who were Callous, Hard, Cruel and Mean.

Then the Day came when I asked the Lord to Send me A Real Man.

One who would Heal me and Love me.

One who would Give My Heart a Chance.

One who would be Long Suffering and Patient with me.

One who would be Dedicated.

Time Passed.

Days upon Days

Weeks upon Weeks

Months upon Months

Year after Year

And I Suffered, and My Soul was Wounded.

And My Body became Weak.

Until Death came knocking on my Door and I heard the knock

with every fiber of my being and I did not care.

Then Like the Answer to my Prayer.

He was before me.

And at the lowest point in my Life he came to me.

He healed my Body.

He healed my Heart

Then he healed my Soul

And Life was Good.

Until

He was Taken as quickly as he came.

Suddenly he is Gone

In an instant without warning.

For no reason.

Left without the only Love I have known

The only Real Love

Cut down in his prime when all seemed so right.

When our Love was so abundant

He may be gone but never forgotten.

Because I was Ready for Love and I was Ready for Him.
