• "Ecstasy"

  My reflections of this morning...

  I'm a virgin
  and I'm unwed.
  No one else has shared my bed.

  I've been spared
  of the kind of pain
  of a man who "loves" me in a way that's feigned.

  No regrets
  no guilt or shame.
  My innocence is still the same.

  I've saved myself
  for a commitment "for life"
  to the man who takes me as his wife.

  I'll be a gift
  with a wedding ring
  to the one who has offered his everything.

  What freedom then
  and reason to rejoice
  that I'm giving myself to God's own choice.

  No baggage there,
  just ecstasy,
  as (for the first time) I give all of me.

  I'm a virgin
  and I'm not "late."
  I'm simply choosing just to wait.
