Chance, Fate, God's Reward

Oh how sadness, and an ugly emptiness,
Has adorned my life,
Wearing on me like that of a waterfall,
Chiseling away on it's solid rock base.

Heartache, upon endless heartache,
Swimming in this dark sea of disappointment,
Within its turbulent and destructive waters,
I am pulled beneath by the relentless currents.

How has happiness eluded me?
Why has love steered clear of my grasp?
Not just briefly, but for an entire existence.
Slipping through my hand as sand through an hourglass.

Out of fear, I ran from its value,
Locking the windows and doors to my inner soul,
For it has taught me to hide from the very source,
That I need to nuture upon.

Then suddenly an angel appeared before me,
Was it by chance, or fate, or God's reward?
With one touch of your hand you've cleared my fear,
And given me completeness of life everlasting.
