Awakened

Oh, I was asleep but my heart waked

To the gentle tapping on my door.

It was insistent and persistent

Yet still I attempted to ignore-



Not believing the call was for me,

And placing no credence on the sound

Until it was made quite obvious

By soft words intended to astound.



That they were to me was very clear.

There was no mistaking their intent

And that moment is so very dear

For they stated just what he had meant.



And for as long as his love remains

Directed to me- of all choices! -

I'll never leave him, never desert

This cherished man of honest voices.



He has awoken a dormant heart

Once wounded beyond hope of repair;

Only a tender and truthful love

Could have transported it from that lair.
