every time he holds me
my head lands squarely on his chest
truth be told i really needed a giant of a man
(yes i said needed)
i made a list actually of needs
and he’s exceedingly abundantly surpassed them all
i needed someone to help me
he does that and serves me
i needed someone to hold me
he does and lifts me up
i needed someone to walk beside me
he does everyday
and he leads us
since the moment i met him
i have been stepping into
promises and blessing and Light
and Love
and my knees have shaken
and my eyes have welled
at the thought
and then the reality
that i get to spend the rest of my life
with the man who looks more like
Unconditional sacrificial Love
than anyone i have ever known
he teaches me
and he learns from me
and he speaks to me
looks at me with
the gentlest eyes i have ever
had the pleasure of gazing into
he provides and protects
he prays, oh he prays
he wrestles with my sons
he dances with my daughters
he….
is ours
and we… are his
and it… this
even when it has been hard
has not stopped feeling right
and good
and i don’t suppose it will
i know people who say with each passing year
their love has grown immensely
i imagine it’ll be that way for us
not without troubles
but this i know
he is forever for me
and there will not be a day
a moment
when i will not be for him
redemption i guess
is what this is called
for both of us
and Love
(also truth be told i maybe should’ve edited this and added a letter or some actual text onto the end, but i’m spending the evening with my husband, so oh well:)
