Our Life

Our life together is like

Calm peaceful waters

Deep with tranquility

Covered with the breath of God

The sunlight dancing across the waves

Fills me with the joy we have known

Your eyes on our wedding day

Your smile at the birth of our children

Your embrace each day of our lives together

In your presence, I am breathless

With you, I am at home

You are everything to me

The warmth of an open fire

On a serene autumn night

Illuminating the colors

The beauty of God’s creation

From the pinnacle of mountains

To ivory shores by the sea

The love that keeps a newborn

Carefully swaddled in a soft quilt

And held cheek to cheek

You are my salvation

From life’s lonely sentence

Our life together

Is my most cherished gift from God
