Loving with Passion
God doesn’t ask you to accept everything, An ordinary life or going through the motions.
Life isn’t always pretty, sweet and nice, It can be filled with pain and deception.
What is it that really drives you to believe, And gives you that passion for life.
Others try to tell you what to do or think, Putting you down saying you’re no good.
My Dad gave me high expectations saying, "Look for the best and never look back”
My passions are different from others, Not following the norm & asking “Why Not”
It becomes a risk to love with your heart, Needing to understand and be heard.
You have to stand firm and believe, For God loves you for all that you are.
I took chances and sometimes failed, Or succeed by going in new directions.
What the hell, I knew God was pushing me, To find that one person so much like me.
A woman came to me expecting more, Trying to look strong, but fragile inside.
At first, “Can you like me and be a friend?”, “Even with the pain and damage that I feel”
Her life, harder and different from mine, Gave us the same outlook, a rebel in life.
God challenges us to reach out at times, Not turning away from love and belonging.
I stood beside her when no one else dared, And in the process I found a beautiful angel.
Even though I am strong and giving, It’s she that changed me, saving my life.
Standing side by side hand in hand, We know God has a purpose to it all.
At times, I cried and wondered to myself “Why” There was a need to understand and feel loved.
We became best friends, trust and then more, There was something taking us to a higher level.
God puts His gifts into your life for a reason, Forcing you to choose, looking inside and grow.
Will dreams come true, or will I only be hurt again, Remember, true love comes when you believe.
Really, loving your best friend with passion, Trusting one another with a shared vision & more
That is what God makes possible for a few, Giving you a full life to loving with passion

These words came to me as a thought about the life and love that my girlfriend Nicole Lynn and I now share together. I love you so much - what a life we now have together.
