Soul Mate
Today, I say a special prayer to ask the Lord above, to fill my heart and bless my soul with the precious gift of love. I’m asking for sincere love, the kind that’s meant to stay, just like the generous love I get from God each day. I pray to find a cherished friend, I humbly request, that I meet my soulmate and for God to send His best.
