Your love beheld my heart
so battered and bruised. 
Your love cried for my spirit
so broken and abused.

Your love kissed my soul, 
its warmth pierced my heart,
melting the deep sadness,
allowing sorrow to depart.

Your love enshrouds me;
Protects me from the past. 
Brings forth my trust again
and the faith it will last.

Your love is potent, 
so rich and so pure. 
Its brightness blinds me,
swathed in light, I'm secure.

Your love revealed memories
of how my heart loved too. 
Thought I never would again 
'til my heart gave itself to you.

Had I never felt an empty heart,
I would never have known
the true value of the gift;
of the love from your own.

I will treasure your gift
in perpetuity. 
I pledge to honour forever
the love you've gifted me.
