This sweet gentle embrace
Ever warm
Ever comforting
Peaceful in a world unknown
Resting and waiting
For this joy it brings
Upon its arrival
Is sought after by so many
By those who are related
By those who are just friends
By those who cannot have
These things they wish
They could
But could never be
This is love
Love of an angel
Who was meant to be
Everything they can
To be loved
To be shared
To be nothing except humble
This sweet gentle embrace
Ever warm
Ever comforting
Peaceful in a world unknown
Resting and waiting
For the joy it brings
Upon its arrival
An innocent babe
A gift from the lord
A gift to the world
A gift to a mother
And father
This is love
Love of an angel
Who was meant to be
Everything they can
To be loved
To be shared
To be nothing except humble

I really thought this was a great poem which didn't have to have a lot of flash to it. The first thing that I noticed is the circular format, meaning that you returned to a sort of "refrain" and reminded me a lot of almost a reggae-style beat to it (although the verses typically would be a little longer for that.) Still even better is the fact that a lot of the religious pacts are like this, so it fits in well, and that is to your advantage. Very nice and very honest.
