Love Of My Life Poem by Alexandra Yeboah

Jesus you're beautiful,
pure and perfect,
affectionate,
the loveliness of you
radiates deep within me,
giving me peace and assurance
despite the black ring of terror
surrounding me.

Each day I long for your presence,
the desires of my heart
are for you to be by my side,
stilling the agitation and fear
residing within me.

I long for you to hold me close,
transfer your holy light
inside me,
talk to me,
laugh with me,
sing me songs
that soothe me to sleep.

Without you I fall short,
get ugly deep inside,
say and do hurtful things,
swim deeper in the forbidden sea.

Yet you love me even more,
despite my heaping pile
of flaws and frailties,
you let me come
crawling back to you,
calling my name,
beckoning to me
like a long lost sheep.

You will always be in my heart,
you are my best friend,
my shield and comfort,
my life partner,
my sweet angelic melody,
the love of my life.
