When We Were Young
When we were young
And love was naïve
Not knowing what we
didn't know
A young thrill in
being together
A happiness in found
each other
Seeing where that
has led
Father's mercy upon
us
As dross removed
from character
Purification
required for depth of intimacy
Didn't know what we
didn't know
When we were young
And love was naïve
Not knowing what we
didn't know
Union together in
heat of relationship
Boiling impurities
and wounds to surface
Drawn off as only
marriage can do
Pain and suffering
of longings unfulfilled
Intimacy's cry
breaking heart of stone
Not knowing what
didn't know
When we were young
And love was naïve
Not knowing what we
didn't know
After all these
years hope awakens
Young love kindles
in soul
Redemption for years
of suffering
He knew what we
didn't know
When we were young
And love was naïve
Not knowing what we
didn't know
His loving hand of
training and discipline
Teaching how to give
and receive love
Exploring what my
being truly desires
Not settling for
false offers of the world
Transformation's
journey full of twists and turns
The journey of love
and intimacy
When we were young
And love was naïve
Not knowing what we
didn't know
