The Visitor Poem by Denis Martindale

It may start as another day, when love pays you a call...
To point out someone on your way to whom to give your all!
Your heart is taken like a bird that flies upon the wing,
When suddenly romance is stirred and love means everything!

The moment that your eyes have met, you stand with feelings mixed.
Then all at once the mood is set with both your hearts transfixed!
You breathe again! You live again! You think of words to share...
You stumble blindly now and then, for love's a mad affair!

Yet seconds later, through love's spell, the magic moments start...
Until the time you say farewell, then leave your new sweetheart!
Alone, your mind begins to think, 'Is this the one I'll wed?
Is this true love, the missing link, the joy that lies ahead? '

You think of diamond rings and such... to symbolise your sighs.
When ecstasy's the merest touch and kisses paradise!
It may start as another day, yet miracles are real
And blessed are those that pause to pray, God's wisdom to reveal.

While love is like a visitor, God's love is always near...
And prayer is our inquisitor for those that we love dear.
You'll find God's wisdom quite enough... Love opens wide the door!
So reach out to the Lord of Love, the King of Love and more!
