His Hand In Mine


I was wrong 
I've been singing the wrong song 
cause I realized that true love isn't planned.

That first time he see's you
he won't want to please you
and he won't scream "take me by the hand."
That love will remain unknown 
until new knowledge is grown, until you learn to understand.

LOVE WILL  NEVER DISCRIMINATE
AND IT WILL NEVER LEARN TO HATE,
IT WILL LOVE U FOR WHO YOU TRULY SEEM TO BE.

Love isn't based on what you look like, or who you seem to be, or how smart they think you are; so I assume that we...

we're only concerned with that other half,
wife or husband soon to be.
It doesn't run from a certain age or race, 
or turn away from a black or caucasian face
because ur soul is all love can see
and I know because it came for you and for me.
Simply caught me by surprise 
with one true look into your eye
but even then i couldn't see.

I'll never forget that day
as you made the music play,
it just flowed straight through your fingers
and I song like a bird, flowing through every word. 
We just let the music linger. 
it lingered through the air, 
all the while you would stare
but yet still you didn't dare, 
You didn't dare say a word but loud and clear I still heard. 
I heard your thoughts cause it changed your demeanor.

I didn't understand the feelings, the connections that we had 
because I had never felt it before but it didn't feel so bad.
Like I opened up a new door that only you could come through.
I didn't think that it would happen but it was something only you could do. 

Yes I was wrong, cause in my heart you did enter
and I slowly realized it no longer had that splinter.
No one else had this key 
because this door was for you and me
and this was something that we had to learn to see.

Now I know that I deeply love you
Those other guys could never be above you
because I see you're the piece that was missin' 
I'm no longer resistin'
Only lovin' and kissin'
So I thank God for what we came to be..

I'm a girl that loves to live life to the fullest. I'm doing all I can to make myself into a successful woman in man ways, all I have to do is work hard and keep praying. I am currently graduated from Westlake High School as an Honor Graduate and I'm now an excepted student at Georgia State University. I am working hard to earn enough money to pay for school school, hopefully PowerPoetry.org will get me one step closer.... <3
