I used to wander always wondering <br />What this life was for and what it would bring <br />Never knowing and too often hurting <br />Not yet seeing for whom I was searching <br /> <br />Every day was a mystery looking <br />For the girl I knew my heart was pining <br />And, just when I thought the dream was fading <br />She came in my life, sending me reeling <br /> <br />And, finally I know about true love <br />Each step I take, in happiness and strife <br />Has a purpose and joy along the way <br />And, I can gratefully say, 'This is life' <br /> <br />Now I've met her every day brings singing <br />And every night brings this endless dreaming <br />Of life together and church bells ringing <br />A life of love sets my heart to spinning <br /> <br />Yes, finally I know about true love <br />Each step I take, in happiness and strive <br />Has a purpose and joy along the way <br />And, I can gratefully say, 'This is life' <br /> <br />So, fairy tales are real for those wishing <br />For knights with burnished armor, bright shining <br />Or maidens in distress needing saving <br />Happily ever-afters are waiting <br /> <br />Though the knights may look different in this world <br />And maidens may be hurt from years of lies <br />Never stop pursuing dreams of true love <br />When you find it, it's worth a million tries <br /> <br />Yes, finally I know about true love <br />Each step I take, in happiness and strive <br />Has a purpose and joy along the way <br />And, I can gratefully say, 'This is life'<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-is-life/
