my love::poem




poem i wrote for jason for our 6 year anniversary:

My Love

How does a flower bloom, my love?
How does it start to grow?
By the light, tenderness and whisper of God
That He so lovingly bestows

How does a tree stand so tall,
Strong and splendid in all its worth?
By the roots that go down deep, my love,
To drink the water from the earth

And the ocean, my love, with all its breakers,
Where does it find its roar?
It’s by the might and strength of his hand
That controls the oceans floor

Our lives are growing and blooming
By tenderness and whispers of truth.
Under the light of God our Father,
I married the love of my youth

Our family, so strong and tall
Come wind, come heat or rain…
Like the tree, our roots go down deep
To drink from his well again and again

And like the mighty ocean
God controls our seasons and tides.
His majesty displayed in the waves,
The stillness, the swell… the deep and the wide…

All from the brilliant mind of God
A dream alive in His heart
And our love was given birth there too
He knew we were better together, than apart
