I MET A MAN

In times when many people don’t know what love is

In an age where people act before they think

Where lust and passions fly like fire...

I met a man

He offered friendship that was unconditional

The words he spoke drew me like a magnet

They were life-giving, did not condemn, full of Grace

Oh, like water from a spring

It was his spirit; He was different; like someone I met before

Someone I met when I stopped believing in myself

Someone who accepted me despite who I was

Someone who made me who I am

You can understand if you know the story

The one of the woman no one cast the first stone at

I met a man just like that man

Now I know that man left clones of Himself 

I met a man who loved me in a different way

It is a selfless love; one I hope everyone can experience

Then we would know what love is and what love is not

We would understand what lovers do

I met a man who wanted to give and expected nothing in return

How many of us know that kind of love?

That kind of love when given is always returned

I could not help but grow in love with the man I met

I don’t know how love produced itself in me

All I know is that I received that love; his love

I think that is all I ever had to do; receive His love

I met a man, I met that Man
