An Answered Prayer

An Answered Prayer

By Janice S Ramkissoon

 

(Dedicated to Stephen Ricketts)

Today you shared with me your plan.

It had to be what I’ve waited for to shake your hand.

A sneak preview you gave of your future life;

Speaking of the one you’d like to make your wife.

 

So often I prayed and ask

For the Lord to accomplish this task;

Of finding that special someone for you,

Who will make you feel the same way too.

 

I remember sharing with you how I found the one.

Wow! How beautiful - certainly is grand.

He makes me smile, each time I call his name;

Look in his eyes or take a trip down memory lane.

 

Overwhelming joy is what I felt,

Remembering how many times I’ve knelt.

Now I rejoice and give God praise,

For one more answered prayer – His name be praised!

This poem was written to commemorate the moment Stephen, my friend, realised he had found his life-long companion (Nsambi).  Hope you'll enjoy the poem as you embrace the beauty of love, according to 2nd Corinthians 13 (especially verses 4-8).     Love never fails...
