My Heart
My Love Eternal
My Wonderment
My All in All

I ask: How can one properly convey
The gentle touch of heavenly glory
That can move upon a soul
As the breath of passion moving in and out
Like lake waters flowing up upon a shore
Only to move back out
Leaving behind endeared remembrances

I walk along life’s shore always watching
For the waters of Life to move
To take deep breaths of the heavenly fragrance
That swirls in, out and around my heart
All compassing
so that all I am aware of
Is You

For days, I’ve been thinking about You
Feeling Your Spirit brush across my heart
Showering me with Your tenderness, filling me up
Causing all other corners of my life
To become dull and drab, colorless
Making me to know that all Life
Begins and Ends with You

Why is it that when we are young
We look for the missing kinship in our lives
Among the people and places of the world
Moving headlong into heartache but not knowing
It is You we are seeking
For contentment, honesty, loyalty, truth
Seeking You, seeking Life

I was there too
I remember loving You as a child
But somehow, someway, lost the connection
Focusing on marriage, children, success, survival
Moving quickly, watching the days go by
Sometimes remembering You were once there
By my side, guiding me
But life was pressing, and I lost You

I did not understand that during those years
You were there all the time watching me as I searched
Watching over me when I should have been
Watching for You
I presumed you were far away and didn’t care
How could I have been so wrong?
How can I stop the bitter tears that fall today
With unending regret for lost years
My heart bleeds…

I know now that as I sleep
Angels watch over me whispering love
Precious little cherubs that envelope my soul
And if I am still enough
I can feel their wings silently moving
Grazing and caressing my weary heart
Making sure I’m covered by heaven’s covenant

Asserting with the sweet brush of their wings
That you are Faithful and True
That no one, no thing will ever come
Between You and me again
For the bond has been forged with
Agony and defeat from past years
Wrong decisions, wrong motives, wrong paths
So that now my journey comes back around
and I am back at the beginning
when as a child…
I loved you!
