Our Deep Intimacy

Reading through your love letters
That you wrote many years ago,
I was remembering when my love for you
First began to grow.

How you always came to visit me,
You were patient and kind.
How sinsitively you listened to me
And no fault you would find.

You were a perfect gentleman,
So tender in every way.
You never pushed your way into my life
And never begged to stay.

You always spoke so softly,
It was like music to my soul
And when you asked me to marry you,
My heart leaped beyond control.

Now, looking at our children,
Still brings my joyful life to tears
As they resemble you more and more
Through pages of passing years.

I love you precious Jesus
For the husband you've been to me,
But especially for these moments
Of our deep intimacy.

Amen, Bob, Amen!  What a treasure you have written! Makes me want to say AMEN out loud, (or something)!
Written beautifully.

Bob; St Theresa of Avilla said it perfectly "I am Yours and You are mine"
I am inspired by this gloriuos poem. ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Your work is one I've deeply felt for some time.  Because my earthly marriage didn't grow with love, I felt such a failure, so stressed and sad until I married Jesus.  Thank you for this precious piece.
