Poem: My Glimpse Of Destiny

Here's another little something I cooked up...

I’ve heard all the rumors
My friends tell me how good you are
Some have actually been with you
Some admire you from afar

I keep checking you out
So I can see what they see
You’re very confident
You say you can transform me

I watch how you juggle us
Going from one to the next with ease
I can’t seem to be mad about it
When I have your attention I’m pleased

I see how close some are to you
It seems you give them your favor
I ask them how they do it
Why your love for them is greater

They say you love us equally
You’re the best they’ve ever had
They’ll never give you up
Even when you make them mad

I’m completely intrigued by you
How do I get closer?
I’m starving for your attention
With open arms you beckon me over

I hang out at your favorite spot
Because in your presence I am free
I’m addicted to our future
I’ve had my glimpse of destiny

Your love for me is amazing
You love me like no other can
Your love is more than extraordinary
It’s miraculous how our love story began
I blossom like a flower
Under the safety of your gaze
With you I’m my best me
I will love you the rest of my days

Now I walk around singing your praises
Telling my friends how much you love me
Our romance has enchanted them
They too want you to love them so freely

I don’t worry about sharing what we have
I know you’ll never leave me
Your love for me is mine alone
Because you are My G-O-D
