The Love Story that Love Told

Courtesy: wallpaperswide.com

I’d love to write the love story that love told

To hearts forlorn when hope was lost and feelings cold,

There never was a tale told that’s told how this one’s told

With flavor and flair to make a fairytale feel fake and old.

It goes as stories go but it’s bold and rooted in love;

A simple execution of compassion marked in a cattle stall

Divinity dubbed humanity such humility displayed for us,

Makes me want to spin a yarn that pulls all the stops.

I’d love to walk the glorywalk of days o’ yore,

To thread in the footsteps of ancients and have fun.

Then when I find the cradle born and my search’s done

I’ll humbly bow down at the feet of my God.
