Heartwork
Heart-filled sorrow and mind-numbing pain;these are two feelings I won't feel again.
I live each day now with a new found power
from a love that grows stronger every hour.
When I was young I thought it was a game;
never really concerned with knowing a name.
Finding another and performing the act,
and remembering to keep my mind intact.
Then came the time when I felt it was time
to settle my self and be more sublime.
The one that I chose I thought I could trust,
yet time would prove there was more to her lust.
A wife and a child, my first family endeavour,
would prove to be my worst mistake ever.
The only thing I kept was my loving daughter
and she's been with me, giving me laughter.
I later found myself in that position again;
a marriage of convenience hoping to gain
some symblance of what my humanity was,
but later I found a new purpose, a new cause.
I sought to make a future with a love from my past
and build a new life that I know now will last.
I love you, my lady, as I did long ago
and I promise that I will never let you go.
There's no one else for me, I will never stray,
and I will love you until my dying day.
Sending my thanks every day up above
to the One who saw fit to return my love
to my side and my heart, my mind and my soul
now fully restored; at last I am whole.
