I first
Felt this feeling at the age of nineteen
That spine-tingling knee-weakening
Out of control spinning
Of hearts beating
Eyes meeting
Dreamy
Melting
Comforting

I’ve Met Someone
I waited
I wrote
I wept
And who cares about that
It’s happened!
I’ve met someone
Someone who sees my soul
Who sees my smile
Who sees me
Oh glorious life
Oh wondrous world
My head is spinning
My heart is flowing
My smile is smiling
I’ve met someone!
Impressions
It took three years and then some
To pull me down
Destroy
Make me less than
Unworthy
Unloved.
My impression is that
Truthfully
It was all about him.
It took one encounter
To lift me up
Encourage
Believe in me
And see my smile
My truth
My worth.
My impression is that
Thankfully
It is all about us.
A Smile
He has crossed my path
And believed in me
He’s entered my life
And invited me in
I waited forever
I waited for him
His smile has truth
I will smile for him
Surety
My world has changed
I see colour again
The black and white spell
Has crumbled at last
His hand was extended
With firmness it shook
I steadied my gaze
And with surety
I stood.
Forever
Loneliness overpowered me
Like a lion devours its prey
I wrestled with my soul
I prayed my days away
I stumbled with my pain
You never let me fall
You are my balm, my strength
You are my life, my all
Answered Prayer
I prayed that you would love me
I prayed for only you
My prayers in time were answered
And now our vows stand true!
Because
Everything we have
And everything we’ve been given
Are temporary gifts
Until we reach our heaven.
Blue skies above
And green trees below
Reflect our Father’s love
Because the Bible tells us so!
Adrift
I floated down the river
Adrift
Directionless
Without a guide
Until I came upon a rock
Anchored in the muddy banks
I was able to pull myself up
And with the moving sun
I could find my way
To solid ground.
I Promise
To allow myself sweet dreams
And tomorrow when the sun rises
I will be kind to myself
Because I’m worth it
