When Poem by John Grinols

When you received my rose and breathed its scent;
As a gift, what does that tell you?
When we looked into each other's soul, eye to eye and face to face;
Does it mean love is easy enough to believe in, when it's true?

When the sun shines a sparkling splendor of another day;
Yet, we're both far away; from each other;
Are you as lonely for me, as I am for you?
When the scars of life are still ingrained upon my brain;
Yet, they say, "All things heal in time."
Is this not true with the same meaning for you?

When my dreams, lasting long into the night,
Hoping, you'd be mine and ours a happy life;
Was this also your dream?
When others told us that, "Love is a Hope that never dies! "
Does this too, have the same meaning for you?
When we're together and others challenge our choice;
Can you tell them, "I'm in love and let God judge us, " as I can?

When a person asks you to say a prayer and put your arms
Around them, saying, "I'm in love with you, too! "
Are you unafraid, as I am?
When we said, "yes" to each other;
Knowing we'll be together, forever;
Did you realize, we're tapping upon the gates of Heaven,
Binding ourselves to each other?

When you read our poem; this poem;
Do you realize, "I'm in love with you, as much
As I know, you're in love with me?
I do! And, I thank you for being just you, when I need you!
