Beginnings and Endings

When a he and she meet,
Each thinks the other is really neat.
They feel they have finally found,
A true Love that turns their life around.

They share their hopes and dreams,
And a never ending love it seems.
Now we’ve heard that love is blind,
So when trouble starts, we think we don’t mind.

We bring to each other not just love, but pain and sorrow,
When our unhealed past, messes up today and tomorrow.
When we see our love going astray,
We hope and pray for a change some way.

Our problems we try to fix, mend, control or ignore,
The love we had in the begining we want to restore.
But what we hold on to, we lose in time,
For me it was that “Dream of mine.”

I thought it was “ours” or “Gods” plan,
To share my life with this special man.
I am ready now to be truly set free,
Of how I thought my life should be.

I turned my life and dreams over to Jesus my Lord,
He did the healing through loving people and His Word.
Now I can let go of the dream and the man,
And be at peace with who I really am.

Beginnings and endings will always be,
I can cope, for now I don’t depend on me.
With Jesus, my heart He did mend,
And His love will never end.

I know I will never be alone,
He’s given me a dream and an everlasting home.
I’m so grateful and happy, its true,
And if you’re not, it can happen for you.

If you’re still saying “If only” it could be,
Jesus says, ‘Let go and give it to me.”

For He has something wonderful in store,
When you see what He can do.
You will only want more.

So Give Him your life and heart today,
And you will find He is the only way.
