The Beating Of My Heart

by Nicole - Aquarius

One day I stopped to listen to
The beating of my heart.
That very day I prayed that God
Would help me make a new start.

This stranger came into my life
Who was caring, gentle and kind.
The kind of man my mother says
Is almost impossible to find.

Days went by and my lack of trust
Had almost pushed him away.
But he saw in me what I could not
And he decided to stay.

Weeks turned to months, then into years
And I began to see.
The man that came into my life
Was teaching me how to be me.

This gift that God has sent to me 
Is one I can never repay.
My world is now full of love and trust,
And I just wanted to say...

Thank you, my love, for bringing me joy.
For teaching me how to be.
The love that courses through my soul
Has finally set me free.

You and God have given me
The strenth to make my start.
But you alone are the reason behind
The beating of my heart.

Reason for writing:

    My husband.
