O, Spirit of Love, come fill our hearts <br />As my darling and I embrace, <br />Stay with us 'til all doubt departs, <br />While in love's bliss we lay, face to face <br /> <br />Let peace and contentment hold us fast, <br />Enter so gently as we sleep, <br />Assure us that our love will last <br />And remain ever faithful and deep <br /> <br />Let us not look for faults to deride, <br />Though we both err, let us forgive, <br />Bless us as we lay side by side, <br />Surely, for each other's love we live <br /> <br />Let us see love in each other's eyes, <br />Love in all the words that we speak, <br />Give us comfort when tears arise, <br />Let us not become callous and weak <br /> <br />May our sweet love remain undefiled, <br />And as it grows over the years, <br />Keep despair and distrust exiled, <br />Then grant us peace, and allay our fears <br /> <br />Now let our eyes close and our lips meet, <br />Suspended in eternity..... <br />Drifting in a rapture so sweet, <br />Endless heaven for my love and me!<br /><br />Lora Colon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-evening-prayer/
