Three Things for You (the reader)

*a poem for your mind:

A love story is told
only by the bold
who would bare
the reasons and ways
they care
but today I see
how important it might be
to show and tell
the reason I know all is well
and good

When I no longer have the ability to feel
still life turns
its wheel 
grasped by one
who knows better than I
and when I should fall
then I fly

Like coming out of college
and not knowing what to do
and somehow I came to know you
blessed with a job
family
and friends
but things have changed since then

and my insides have been turned
ripped
burned
and molded
till all that I had organized
separated
and folded
is no more the me
I wanted to be
and the more
I see
and move and grow
the more I know

When the bottom gives way
and my knees instinctively bend
a hug or ear
is always near to lend
and when I say "no more"
there enters a door
perfectly opened and placed
and I see the smile on your face

the one who used to say yes
and never no
now knows-
knows how to say
"I can't do that today"
or "how about this"
"lets do that"
more dynamic now, than the before flat

no more of a push over
who changes to please
but someone who stands strong
with dirt on her knees
and when I see a wall
I stand tall and move
knowing that I can brick
by brick move
from here to there
because he cares
to help

there is no end
to the ways he will help a friend
a son
a daughter
you
because he is love
and he is true.

*A verse for your heart:

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality... If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."
- Romans 12:12-18

*A beautiful song for you:
