Love Is My Intention

Love is my intention

The compass of my soul

The whisper through the storm

The force that makes me whole

Not possession

Not pride

Not a place  

For truth to hide

Love is the hand extended  

When the road is dark and long

The gentle voice reminding me  

That broken hearts stay strong

Love is patient rain  

Upon a thirsty field

A quiet strength that never asks  

Another heart to yield

Love is my intention  

When morning greets my eyes

When shadows gather at my feet

When hope begins to rise

It lives within forgiveness

Within mercy

Grace

And care

A sacred flame that teaches me  

That heaven can start here

So if my words are ever lost

Or my footsteps drift astray

Let love remain my truest guide

And lead me back each day

For wealth may fade

And time may leave

And seasons come and go

But love is my intention

The deepest truth I know
