Tug of Love

I feel a little tug inside of me
And know ‘tis love whose voice I hear within
It beckons me to come and take this path
To somewhere far I know yet still can’t see.
‘Tis not a force that speeds and bids me haste
Instead a gentle prod and tender nudge
That whispers in my ear and spurs my feet
To move me inch by inch and day by day.
I shed and leave behind a part of me
With love to fill and wrap around my soul
It wakes and stirs a binding vow within
To cart me off and carry me away.
Love’s given me a chance to grow and say,
I’ll be a better man with every passing day…
