True Love Prevails

A simple poem for the Heart

457
True Love Prevails

Wouldn't it be nice

If more Love existed

That hate would decease

And the world be less twisted


I long for that day

That day that will surely come

When we discover a land of peace

Where we all rejoice as one


One family of trust

A bond of no judgment

Oh wouldn't that be nice...

Can you even imagine it?


I know I can.

In fact, there is such a place

Where Love is full of truth

Where Love is full of grace


If home is where the heart is

Then where do you reside?

Is Love at the center?

Does it make you come alive?


I don't know about you,

But it's hard to find it here

This world is so dark

Filled with so many tears


So where is our home?

Shall I dare we fix our gaze

Beyond the clouds of glory

And into the gates of praise


Where there is no suffering

Where there is no pain

Where we can be free

And have nothing to gain


My heart longs for this

This home of peace and Love

It's grown weary of the world

Can it only rest up above?


The time has come

For our hearts to grow

To reach out to the lonely

And to let everyone know


That they are deeply Loved

By their very own Creator

For He Loves us so much

That He gave us a Savior


Do you want to know the secret?

True Love did survive

It came through a death

A death brought back to life


Love came into the world

But we did not understand

So we rejected true Love

We thought he was only a man


But although he was beaten

Although he was bruised

He carried that rugged cross

To carry on the good news


The good news is this

True Love is alive

And his arms are open

Yes, they are open wide


True Love is a man

And this he will always be

So won't you let him in?

Will you let him set you free?


Oh won't you run to him?

He longs for your embrace.

If you are looking for Love,

Just look upon his face.


You see, Heaven is my home

But have you ever thought

That it's where we all belong

The price is already bought


As I have walked this path

This path of everlasting life

Something I have discovered

Is that His Love excludes all strife


Heaven may be above,

But we carry it within

If we confess that He is Lord

And lay down every sin


So take a leap of faith

Before life passes you by

Or it will slip away from you

In just the blink of an eye


I may be walking blind,

But I'm convinced that I can see

His presence is so thick

His warmth is wrapped all around me


Some say he is invisible

But, friend, this is not true

In fact, he is everywhere

He is all around you


So why not call him Friend?

And why not call Him Father?

Why not call him Darling?

Why should you even bother?


For only then will Love prevail

You see, He is the only way.

So take a hold of Jesus,

And he will take your breath away.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
