Balance of Love

By:Jim Gandolf

A whisper'd promise, sweet as dawn,

A path of light we walked upon.

I gave my heart, a trusting plea,

And built my world for only thee.

But shadows fell where sunlight played,

A gilded cage, a masquerade.

Each gentle touch, a hidden lie,

A truth that left my spirit dry.

The shattered pieces, sharp and cold,

A story left yet to be told.

I knelt in dust, my faith undone,

Beneath a cold and bitter sun.

Then grace, a river, flowed to me,

And washed my sight, so I could see.

A quiet strength, a gentle hand,

A whisper from a holy land.

No grand design, no sudden blaze,

Just steady love through winding ways.

A simple truth that sets me free,

A quiet hope now guiding me.

My soul at peace, the journey starts,

Two trusting, open, beating hearts.

An open road, a sky so wide,

With faith and love, we walk inside.
