It was through the darkness
And through the despair
Through all of the times
I threw away care
In the midst of chaos
You came to me
Quite out of nowhere
And unexpectedly
A smile, a handshake
Matter-of-factly direct
Who knew that in time
It’d be me you’d select
Your choice of a partner
A broken road to repave
A heart flawed and shattered
And needing to be saved
Who knew in those times
You would always stand firm
By watching your strength
I grew and I learned
Learned to be patient
That love starts with grace
Learned life is a journey
Not a hundred yard race
The years have gone by
Some crisp, some a blur
Not one thing I’d change
Not a memory defer
For even the bad
Made us better as one
A storm we endured
To revel in sun
So as I think back
Your love undeserved
We both stayed on track
Through straight and through curve
I thank you for all
That you’ve done for me
For enabling the man
I always wanted to be
I’m humbled in love
That you are my wife
Yet ecstatic to know
I’ll love you for life
Nicely done! Unpacked and full of creative and powerful energy that can only be activated by a Love for God and Wife 🙂
Obviously God-inspired, Gil. What a beautiful way to honor Lee and the faith you are growing in together. Thanks for sharing!
