God Is Love And Love Is All Poem by Denis Martindale

When I first saw her beauty shine, I sensed my lonely heart would pine!
As courage melted fears away, I talked to her that very day.
How could I touch her fingertips or even kiss her perfect lips?
How could I hide the love inside from one I prayed would be my bride?
Love gets accepted or refused. She smiled at me as one amused.
That day, she knew I was sincere. True love like mine was crystal clear!

No wonder that I write of her because of dreams that could occur.
It was because she married me that we could start our family!
Our children's eyes are where I find her love-filled eyes and smiles so kind.
While tenderness endures and grows, true love persists and overflows!
Surpassing all our hopes and dreams, like waterfalls surpassing streams,
Such that our friends and neighbours smile at love that goes the extra mile!

While I love her, and she loves me, we live in God-blessed harmony,
For God is love, and love is all. True love, His greatest miracle!
