Love Surprise

Spring is in the air, life begins anew.
If life has one beginning, I began with you.
Like a barren desert, I existed without life.
I searched the world for love, finding only strife.
You waited while I wandered , a smile upon your face.
As if you knew the end of my solitary chase.
I searched for love and happiness far across the land.
I stumbled, would have fallen, but for your helping hand.
Your patience with me mirrors the power of your love.
My heart seeks like a hunting hawk, yours remains a dove.
Great tales are often told in song, or written in a book.
Great treasures are often found in places you don't look.
For even as I blindly searched, and often lost my way.
There beside me step by step was the one I love today.
I searched until you found me and opened up my heart.
I now can feel your presence even when we're far apart.
When spring is in the air, and life begins anew,
My life has one beginning, I'm nothing without you.
