"To Live Is To Love"

As the red and orange skies
Ember off into far distance
With a nippy chill in the air
My heart so embarrassed and sad
I walk this road today
Deaf to the monotonous oceans crashing waves
Through sand I walk in this lonesome path
Lost to the sea… no seagull around
As the evening rolls over at sunset
And as the orange, red, yellow and purples fade away
Knowing deep inside
God gives eternal life
To those…
Whose lives have no sin
Connected to all that is love
I ask myself
How can this love I feel be a sin
So deep… so pure… so beautiful
All I have to give is myself
I stop for only a moment… I listen
Waiting for the wind
To tell me it’s okay
Searching for something to hold on
Knowing I will love you deeply
For ever and a day
Knowing to live is to love
Yes… to love
For ever and a day

Love is never a sin, Tinka. Sometimes we have to make choices and sometimes vows we made in innocence come up hollow as the years progress. Sometimes we make wrong choices and when we do, we must find ways to make them right; but I don't believe that God intended us to suffer through our life because the choice we made was in innocence and prayer. If the call upon your heart is strong enough, you will know that it comes with God's blessing.
Take care,
Sherry

Mesmerizing and teasingly tempting to give in to love that is expressed by you so well in this one Tinka, I can feel your love and also your indecision but it all comes down to you and the feelings of your heart. If the call is strong enough you will answer it someday.
