In the Fullness of Time

Your soul beckoned me

But I did not know

My own soul in hiding still

Pining

Caring for my broken heart

My shattered spirit…

And still your soul beckoned me

In dreams I won’t remember

Our souls they danced together

And in the fullness of time

When our souls one another

Finally find

Our bodies entwined

Bound together and strong

With only each other in mind

We stand still on our special day

Eyes locked - your hands in mine

You smile and I say:

forever I will love you

Mind, body, and soul

Today, tomorrow, and forevermore

And when they lay us down

In the dirt and dust of the ground

I hope it’s next to you I’ll be found

And when the memories rush forward

To those still around...

And it’ll be then that-

Once again, we’ll be one

Our hearts forever young

Together our energies running free

The story of our love forever told!
