a marriage song/ my favourite things

Had I known
those long years ago
when discouragement
often
paved our way

that
our hope would be born
through waiting

persevering

and how now
we see so plainly

just how love is

we smile
together
at its
simplicity

-------
if I had known then
what we know now
I would have grabbed your hand
and run with you
to the brightness

and we would have giggled on our way
as we anticipated
the blessing of our Father

trusting His
Perfect Love
to take away all fear

I am not afraid

of our todays
or our tomorrows
because I know
He walks with us
and that
He makes everything
beautiful

in His time.

.......


I found these following lines tucked away from years back...to my Eduardo.
so blessed that healing comes...
on wings it always comes....

my favourite things/ a longing Lord

a longing Lord
to be so close

but so much
keeps us apart

misunderstandings
apologies
or apologies
forgotten

so much

hopes
and dreams
and those
shattered

but
not crushed
not dead

nor ashes
that need to
be buried

just covered
completely

by Love

Yours

----------------------

Some days
the sun shines
even when it is raining

in my heart
and yours

some days
the storms rage
and devour

though the sun shines

because
we see
differently

and
cannot
or
will not

change our
point of
view
or
direction
of turning
or
even

look
each other in the eye
to see the reflection
of Him

who

laid down his life

who

doesn't count pennies
or sins
or remember
that
we were the ones

who

caused His Pain

-------------------

The
Son
Still
Shines

if we look
we might still see
the beauty

it is always there
it never leaves

not like our love
that falls like autumn leaves
each season as the cold arrives
in its harshness
and disregard
for all else
but self enthroned
not Christ

we are like the seasons

but
by Grace

spring returns each year

but
by Grace

His Love
blossoms
in our hearts

maybe
if we
close our eyes
we will see Him
and will miss the
autumn leaves falling
or the chill storms coming

but
by Grace

if we
look into each others' eyes

we may see Him


-------------------
I am so glad that Love heals
