Granted... Poem by Nestor David Armas

You walk around as if in a daze,

A smile on your face that radiates,

That which is in your mind & heart,

What could this be about?

Not of finding lost money,

Not of listening to your favorite song,

No; this smile is more than that,

It comes of love unfurled before you,

Of finding that one who would make you whole,

This smile mirrors Gods gift to you,

It shines upon the world like a burning fire,

Lighting everyone's bleak lives but for a second,

This is what I see from the depths of your soul,

Your fulfillment as a woman, as a person;

Meant to be loved, treasured, cherished,

There are two less lonely people in the world,

Finding one another like blind mice in the dark,

Together as one, as an example to others,

This is what love was and is meant to be,

A dream come true, a hope fulfilled, a wish granted...
