A promise of love came at twilight, <br />Knocking upon this beggar's door, <br />I stood trembling as it let itself in, <br />Its charity shook me to the core <br /> <br />Love opened the door and we embraced, <br />And a sweet voice spoke to my soul, <br />Tears begin to fall as I remember <br />Love's tender words starting to unfold <br /> <br />Love told me I'd be Queen forever, <br />Eternal love would mark my reign, <br />Those words settled snugly inside my heart, <br />Loneliness departed with its pain <br /> <br />Then I watched the door slowly closing, <br />I knew love was here to stay, <br />Its wandering days had come to an end, <br />Now, together we greet each new day <br /> <br />From books and teachers I learned of life, <br />But nothing prepared me for <br />The thrill and wondrous joy that I felt <br />When, so gently, Love opened the door<br /><br />Lora Colon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-love-opened-the-door/
