This is a great story of a wonderful man that you were lucky to find. It is the love your parents should have shown to you. It seems that Wayne's parents taught him.
I found two errors. I think there should be commas around 'at about 10 o'clock and matter should be matters in paragraph twelve.
Keep writng and stay healthy.

Hello Patcelaw,

I read the above poem.....fell easily inspired by those humbling words that felt like an afternoon conversation with a dear friend and spiritually moved quite deeply. How such a warm hearted (love)story can turn a person's sadness into a passing quick joy. Thank you for sharing. I was overtaken.

I am certainly glad you met Wayne and he taught you unconditional love. I am sorry your parents could model it for you or transmit it to you in other ways. Smiles- Joan

This is such a beautiful love story. Finding the man of your dreams and falling madly in love from the start. It was God's wonderful plan at work for sure. Your story is well-written, interesting start to finish. Thank you for sharing your love story with us.

A very well-written heartfelt story. When anyone is able to look beyond the mistakes we made in our lives and still show they respect and admire you for who you are is worth embracing such a relationship.

Stunned... I am loss for words... Not because I have nothing to say but heart would want to express a lot. I felt each lines. Thank you for your sharing your story - a love to last for a lifetime not only here but in heaven as well. You are so blessed.

I copied and pasted below - goosebumps and the feeling is really unique and divine.

He said, "Pat, I do not care where you have been, what you have done, because what matter to me is what you can mean in my future and in yours."

Wonderful story. Your piece touched on some great theological truths and a real life situation that brought God's Word to life. You touched on not only God's unconditional love, but salvation in Christ, power of prayer, the importance and power of His inspired Word. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you and yours.

Yours is a beautiful story that needs to be shared whenever you can, Patricia. I love the way you presented this. The image is a good pairing, the font works well, there is good flow, and great imagery. It is easy for readers to see/feel God's hand in directing you and Wayne to each other.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

May I suggest:
Lessons I learned in life and how they affect my relationships making [ made ] me into the person that [ I am today in God's honor. ]God can honor.

[ It was that point . . .]The point when expressed to him I was afraid could jeopardize our relationship, but it was something he needed to know.

On Sunday morning(,) I got up(,) [delete and ] and went to church(,) and I prayed that somehow God would see fit to touch Wayne's heart.

That night I went to bed,[ no comma ] with hope in my heart that God would answer my prayer.

On Monday morning at about 10 o'clock(,) the phone rang. I answered [semicolon here / delete and ] and it was Wayne. He said, "Pat, could I come to see you so we can talk?"

With a catch in my throat, I answered , "Yes, I would like that to happen."

In less than an hour(,) he was at my door. He asked, "would you go for a ride with me to a lovely spot?"

He drove to the mountains,[ no comma ] to a spot that he truly enjoyed. Parking the car under a large pine tree, he shut off the engine.

Turning toward me(,) he said something that showed to me unconditional love. He said, "Pat, I do not care where you have been,[ been or . . .] what you have done, because what matter to me is what you can mean in my future and in yours."

During our date on the following Saturday, he fell to his knees and asked me to marry him.

He had just taught me a wonderful and valuable lesson on what unconditional love was really like.

Yes, unconditional love is the only love worth having. We all have things that are unlovable about us and only if one can get past that are we truly loved. My husband and I had unconditional love for each other and I love my children unconditionally and I believe they have the same for me but God's love is better than all of that.
