Are you ready for love?

Below is the poem that I read on my blogtalk show on 12/28/12.  It is a poem about being ready for love.  When I read this poem I realize that the one I have been waiting for is me.  I am the one who must be ready for love before love comes into my life.  I hereby proclaim my readiness for love!

Update:  I posted this a year ago and boy has my life changed!  I have more friends, including a special someone that I absolutely adore!  The love that I have for myself is continuing to expand!  Which means the love I have to share with others is growing too!  So, I am re-proclaiming my readiness for love!

Ready For Love
 by Ruth Kephart

 Take my hand and lead the way;
 tell me all you want to say.
 Whisper softly in my ear,
 all those things I want to hear.
 Kiss my lips and touch my skin;
 bring out passions deep within.
 Pull me close and hold me near;
 take away my pain and fear.
 In the darkness of the night,
 be my beacon, shine your light.
 In the brightness of the sun,
 show me that you are the one.
 Give me wings so I can fly;
 for I can soar when you're nearby.
 Enter my heart, break down the wall,
 it's time for me to watch it fall.
 I've been a prisoner, can't you see?
 Break my chains and set me free.
 Strip me of my armor tight;
 you'll find I won't put up a fight.
 Release my soul held deep within . . .
 I'm ready now, let love begin.
