Are you the one

For years I have preyed
to the heavens up above
for a woman to share life with
for a woman to share my love.
A woman to hold hands with
a woman to cherish through life
a woman who loves me for me
a woman to always be my wife.
Did you not hear my prayer
did you not see the pain
of love gone aerie
of love gone astray?
I give up on love
I give up on the day
I give up on the one
who just walked away.
Wondering aimlessly through life
my heart filled with dismay
ready to give up on it all
to make the pain go away.
Then along you did come
sent from the stars in the sky
a ray of sunshine in my life
on my heart I will rely.
The time we have spent
in the day and the night
fills my once dead soul
with joy and delight.
You are everything I had preyed for
you are everything I desired
a bright smiling face
dead feelings all expired.
I know you feel it too
the comfort when you're near
my heart beats again
my words are sincere.
I look forward to us being
together and apart
for now you have started
the beating of my heart.
Have my prayers now been answered
are you my dream come to be
only time will tell this
are you the one for me?
