Fire In Me
What is this?
It makes me weak.
Whenever you are near
I know not what to speak.
To portray how much I care,
And how wonderful you make me feel—
It is bliss . . .
Is it a dream or real?
But perhaps it’s both!
You carry me to new heights,
And take me deeper than before.
As a moth is drawn to lights,
So I am drawn to you.
With you I feel safe,
For you are strong where I am weak;
You have been a blessing in my life.
This love poem was written for my first boyfriend. He was a great encouragement in many ways, and though our paths were not destined to continue together, I truly appreciated that relationship. It was imperfect and short lived, true, but it had an impact on my life. It helped me build my courage and confidence.
