Analysis of Soul mate
the night was icy but i truly did not mind
in the glow of your love, healing warmth i did find
as the night colors swayed and danced in the night sky
you pull me close to your body, with contentment i sigh
at last our love blessed in the eyes of god, souls united
our days, our nights bound together joyful bliss invited
ten years together, side by side finding true friend
teaching, learning, each others painful past eager to mend
and now that we face all that life will bring our way
hearts joined, hand in hand we embrace each new day
and as our hair turns gray and age does make us weak
to walk side by side together in wisdom is all we seek
when for one of us the hands of time slow to a crawl
until we meet again each day the other must give all
so when together once more, in the house of god, no regret
knowing that each comitment together eagerly we meet
to our loved ones family and friends, this we hope to teach
walking thru life please know there are lessons and goals to reach
when another soul you meet remember some things are meant to be
embrace the gift god has sent, open your eyes to all your meant to see
