Frozen by life’s many vicissitudes and much pain-filled loss
My fearful soul was kept tightly hidden and oh so very cold
With Your warm and endless love over to You I cross
My heart has melted within me and in You, I unfold

There is something spiritual about the kind of love you describe, & hopefully experience, making your poem very prayer-like & hopeful.
