Fairytale Renamed


Love is a song sung in melodic tune.
Love is a chord played and then imbued.
My Love fills all my deepest needs.
He chills my body wholly.
Smile, like an angel, his actions speak boldly.
I’ve been told since childhood love is not a game.
It’s a sacred romance—a fairytale renamed.
'I love you' is not just a phrase to be shouted loud and clear.
It’s a weighty promise that seeps inside the ears.

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
-Jeremiah 31:3
