To My Love
September 19, 2011
You left me today my Beloved.
That was not our intent as we started.
But alas our great Lord had other plans.
And His will cannot be thwarted.
He has given me this awesome assurance,
That you are safe in His arms today.
And now I wait upon Him
Till the awesome day begins,
When we are once again reunited.
- Ray
