Patience's Reward

A whisper lingers through the air,  

A promise glows, beyond compare,  

That somewhere, through life’s ebb and flow,  

She seeks the one her heart will know.  

With every face, each passing soul,  

She searches deep to find the whole,  

A kindred heart, a destined flame,  

A love that answers to her name.  

Through winding paths, through trials long,  

Her spirit stays steadfast and strong,  

Though waiting stretches far and wide,  

Her love will heal, stand by my side.  

No mask will shield, no wall deny,  

The pull of fate, her watchful eye,  

She walks the steps that lead her near,  

Her heart attuned to what is clear.  

And when she comes, her light will show,  

A warmth I’ve yearned but didn’t know,  

Her hands will cradle all I’ve been,  

Her love, the balm to scars unseen.  

So I will trust through fleeting days,  

Her steady search, her loving gaze.  

She’s moving closer, soon to be—  

The woman sent to treasure me.
