Little Love

Little Love

To wish and hope for a Little Love to hold
to ask and plead for a Little Love to kiss
To strive to please, bargain with God, demand, give up
and then repeat
Exhausted then my striving I ceased
and finally learned what it is to cling

My supplication He met with consolation,
then joy filled me,
when I knew you’d be.
His favor had gracefully landed upon me,
and the Little Love promised
I carry within me.
