A Prayer that was Finally answered

I've always noticed something that was wronge
Not complete, yet the problem wasn't me
Kneeling to my bedside, Closing my eyes
Clasping my hands trying to understand and realize

A Prayer I prayed in hopese would come true
The love of someone who would be sent by you
God's many gifts that are given to all
Our salvation was the greatest of all

Yet my thoughs still strayed, my soul not whole
For heaven, I felt, would not fill my soul
So I prayed that night to help me understand
What was my purpose on earth as a man?

Night after night, that prayer was said
and no returns came, nor anything read
My thoughts wandered, as they often do
Of my being on earth, and what i am supose to do

By and by my friends came in view
Each one honest and always true
Then came one who I sat aside from the rest
Not necessarily naming her the best

I got to know her though late in my young life
My thoughts of her heightened as I forgot my strife
She uplifted my spirits, though she never knew
Each time that I saw her, never like the other few

Back at my bedside, one year to date
I smiled with tears, as i knew no more hate
No more running away, no more retreat
I finnally realized what was needed to make my soul compleate

My head in a pillow, my mind full of fears
As one so sweet, gently kissed away my tears
I looked in her eyes and knew what was to be
That truly this was heaven, and all it's glory
