My Rachel as Well
30 October 2006

You are beauty in one name.
You are joy, my life and my gain.
You are happiness
you are faith and hope.
You are empathy,
you’re the knot
in my rope.

My strength, my bench press,
you are my apple and
my Rachel as well.
To love you, to ponder,
then of your expressing inside smell

This journey adjoining two hearts,
a united in states borne.
You’re my path, my road,
a destination travelled.
This place of prayer,
nothing from you and I
ever to in the book of life torn

“Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in
thy book all my members were written, which in continuance
were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”
Psalms 139: 16 KJV
