Woman at the Well

Blue skies,
a clear day
took the time to pray.

Have good news,
I saw the clues.
He was the one
who came to take away my blues.

He had a story,
one filled with glory.

He was the real deal,
and told me about The Seal.

You see, I was bought with a price,
even when the devil came to entice.

But the Great Father told me about my past,
and why the devil's love did not last.

He drew me a map of my history,
to him there was no mystery.

Said that I had much to do,
and that my days were limited to a few.

So there was no more time to spend with lovers,
had to encourage, uplift my lost brothers.

Couldn't be That One,
shining bright like a sun,
giving myself away,
like it was someone's birthday.

No need to cry anymore,
my spirit no longer poor!
I can't wait for what the future
has in store!
