I Have Been Loved Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

What once was, is no more.
Now rises the sun on a day
When contentment reigns;
I have long been comforted
Through dark nights of sorrow,
Aching need, unfulfilled love.

A lost soul on shores of loneliness,
I wandered empty desserts
Sludged through bogs of despair,
And through it all, someone was there.

Time and time again, that presence
Became stronger through the years;
As did my strength and confidence
Till finally a day dawned upon faith.

A day when love was recognized,
A day when that love lifted me;
A day when I found my life and
A day to day sustaining grace.
