SONNET XIII - THE KINGDOM

Will you be by my side through all my wars,
not giving up until we have prevailed?
Will you pursue my dreams like they were yours?
Will you still stand by me when I have failed?
Do you believe in all that I can be?
Will you come help me grasp what I can't reach?
Will you become the footprints under me,
and carry me along life's darkest beach?
Will you come lie with me when I am cold,
and hold me in the night when I'm afraid?
Will you still be there when I'm grey and old?
Did God send you to grant the prayer I prayed?
   The kingdom of my heart contains a throne
   that stands unclaimed until such love is shown.
