Love works in mysterious ways



I found out that love works in mysterious
ways. Pain is what filled most of my days.
I sometimes wondered about love "What's so
good or bad?", and I longed for what I
could not have.
I was loyal to one man and he gave freely to
all, and my mind would say "Girl that's a
serious downfall".
I opened my eyes and decided to see, and I
saw love and happiness looking back at me.
I opened my heart and wanted to feel, and my
wounded soul started to heal.
I opened my ears and started to listen, and I
heard him say "It's for you I was wishing
and in my life I want you to stay".
I opened my mouth and decided to say "I love
you in every possible way".
I am finally happy and just wanted to say "Love
still works in it's mysterious ways.
