The Creation Of Love Poem by Mary Murphy

God designed the heart to be a treasure,
When He filled it with love impossible to measure.
He placed it in a chest,
For there the heart fit best.
Here it was protected with a powerful care,
So that this heart might never tare.
But look what the world has done to a heart,
Inside it is slowly falling apart.
When this beautiful treasure is spent in pure vain,
The reward in the end is nothing but pain.
So then God decided to give it a key,
Held by another to set the heart free.
To unlock the tight and heavy chains,
That were locked by the world through the hurt and the pain.
When the keeper of this key is found
Both hearts will discover true love so profound,
And together they will grow to be much more than gold,
A treasure of wealth, a wealth untold.
The love God created to complete hearts design
Was a love pure and just, a love divine.
Such a gift it is to love with all your heart,
When both will join to form one loving part.
