My Angel, My Heart, & Our Journey


Many are of the opinion that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I couldn't agree more. Life is a never ending journey of endless discoveries, painful entanglements, and amazing breakthroughs. Embracing these particles could not be done more beautifully if not in love. A God above, a single prayer, on a cold, thoughtless night when the thought of giving up on everything just plagued my helpless mind countless times over. Love was overrated then, a lasting bond between man and woman was just a mere farce, which could not coexist with reality. He was quick to correct me. His hand was swift, and his movement coincided with our prayers collected in heaven. My heart had been broken in 6 places before, and God's love was sufficient to mend those cracks. Like lightning from heaven, an angel fell into my arms. An angel, so beautiful, so graceful, so lovely, and so delicate. This angel was the answer to my prayers and tears that no man has seen, for men would not be allowed to drip. At 7, I discovered the meaning of love. Love, created by God, the greatest emotion of all, the axis on which the earth rotates; entered in a flash of amazing velocity, and penetrated the darkest corners of my unswept, uncleaned soul. My journey had begun. Responsibility, loyalty, and a lifelong commitment dawned upon me. These elements were not new to me, but they now have a renewed purpose in my life, and would take the main stage in every aspect. God brought Melodie to me in the most amazing way, almost divine, almost supernatural. It was an encounter of a lifetime, a meeting I would treasure to my deathbed. A friend once asked me, how would I know when I find the right one. My reply was simply that it would feel right. My answer was ambiguous, out of a lack of knowledge and for the sake of a reply. But truly enough, I have never felt more right in my life. Everything of her fitted me like a glove. 2nd February 2008 is a date I will remember, cherish and treasure. For once, and for a very long time to come, God has given me His true vision. And all I have to do is realize it, and put it into existence.
14th February, 3 weeks after our divine amalgamation, we were blessed with a magical valentine's day. It was my very first, as was hers. God had saved us the best. We had a wonderful evening chatting, enjoying a movie together, as well as downing a satisfying portion of Italian cuisine. Oh, and not to forget the lovely gifts. Melodie, you are truly the melody of my soul, the song of my heart and the angel of my life. I can never thank God enough for you, and only He can preserve this to the end. You mean everything to me, and this is a testimony of our journey - one that begins now, and ends when He has fulfilled his destiny in us, and when His plans and purposes for us are accomplished. You opened the doors of my heart to exhibit love, and you are a living testimony of a prayer answered. Amen.

Keeper of Love


If love could be immortalized
Tonight the stars would be my witnesses
If life was but a happy song
I'd give it all for me to sing to you

But I pray with all my heart today that miracles are true
Right then you walked into my life
And suddenly I felt this way and I could

Love you more than yesterday
I love you more each day
When I hold you in my arms
I've got everything I'll ever need
Baby you're my keeper of love

It really has been quite awhile
That I have been so sure of something new
I never thought this day would come
My journey has begun, I've found someone

And in all my life the one thing that means so much to me
Is to join the broken pieces
And to tell you now that baby I could

My heart is yours forever and ever
You're the answer to my prayers and my bowls of tears
In faith and love we'll carry on
Heaven's smiling down on me
As I'm looking at you tonight
