An Earthly Love, An Eternal Love

My broken heart, he shattered,
I turned 'the other cheek',
only to be 'slapped' again.

He crushed my innocence,
but only wounded my courage,

With a broken heart,
I limped on and reached out
to save myself,

And eventually, I found you.

Crushed innocence found trust,
Reborn courage marched on,
in step with our singing hearts,

Of an earthly Love, an Eternal Love.
