On that day he came to me <br />To sorrow I was bound, <br />My burdens weighing heavily, <br />What little joy I found <br /> <br />Heaven's lamp had long been dark <br />And then he lit the flame, <br />He took my sorrows for his own, <br />Does such love have a name? <br /> <br />All my doubts started to fade <br />Like dew upon the sea, <br />The latch was raised, the door swung wide, <br />The captive dove was free <br /> <br />On that night he came to me <br />Stars danced across the sky, <br />The angels leaned out of heaven <br />To smile..... and then to sigh <br /> <br />Heaven heard my whispered prayer <br />And all the tears I cried, <br />They sent this man to comfort me, <br />Now, to his heart I'm tied <br /> <br />Strange! ... the warmth of one dear friend <br />Could melt a frozen sea, <br />Shadows lifted, the sun shone bright, <br />On that day he came to me<br /><br />Lora Colon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-that-day-12/
