After A Long, Long Time

After a long, long time of existing,
of giving up on life, and on love -
i found love again,
and i live again...

For i feel God has deemed it fit -
to give me a second chance at life:
and i feel that He will see me safe
and bless me with love again in life;

For the great joy of giving -
and the greater joy of receiving...
for the immense joy of loving -
and the even more intense joy of being loved...

That had left on tired broken wings so long ago
Have found their way back to me:
in all their youthful glory -
in all their feathers and plume,
that i may one day march proudly to my Maker
and say: i thank Thee, God -
for all the great favours showered upon me;
and i sincerely thank Thee, God -
for giving me a second chance at love,
and a second chance at life -
that i may clearly know
what it means to love
and be loved in return...

Thank You, God, for all your blessings -
for which i am eternally thankful - Thank You...
