"Of Past Love and Want of More"
(9-21-01)

There once was a love that was within
And it was full, not watered thin.
Out strong it poured and granted me
A chance to love abundantly.
As it was shared it grew more strong
And I was lifted by each bird's song.
But through the years it did fade
And for my debts it was paid.
So now inside there is a void
"May sweet, sweet Cupid be deployed!"
To touch my heart and thus to fill it,
My God if only I could will it!
And so I wait for that day
When revealed to me will be the way
To find the love my heart to fill
And sustain my lengthy journey still.
O my God hear my sole prayer
As I lift it through the air
And fill my heart and soul and mind
With the love I'm meant to find.
