Love Came Knocking On the Door

She still remembered how low she’d felt,

nothing and no one could comfort her,

she’d been alone for such a long time,

often wondering if there was some reason -

why it seemed that life had cast her asunder.

Keeping a rain cloud full of thunder,

gathered above her head,

no more smiles only frowns,

she wondered where life had gone so very wrong.

That was the day when at her very worst,

love came knocking upon her door,

he stood there so tall and sure -

with a smile as dazzling as the sun.

His eyes bright and shining,

he’d just moved in next door,

at first, she was wary

and wondered if she should let him in.

So cold and aloof she’d been for so long,

because most everything had gone wrong,

she forced a smile that seemed out of place,

right away he saw her emotional turmoil.

Not to cause her undue distress,

he asked her over for a grill that evening,

when the door was between them once more,

her cheeks were flaming,

her heart pounding

and she doubted she could walk on over,

but that evening she found herself,

crossing the lawn,

that separated them from one another

She wondered if he was alone,

but when he opened the door,

the joy at seeing her was so real

and she suddenly knew,

she was looking into the eyes of love.

It would take some time,

to change her mind,t

time to bring them closer,

but he was to her -

what she had been waiting for.

She helped him to be lonely no more,

together they discovered,

that they were both looking for someone,

together they found the love,

they had been looking for

and she blessed the day -

that he had come knocking on her door.
