(I wrote this while staying in a battered women's shelter)
Dearest My Most precious friend, my provider
Protector and committed husband,
I trust that you love me when I’m silly
And that you’re laughing too
And that your arms are open wide
When I cry and run to you
You’ve never once lied to me
And I know you never will
You love me unconditionally
And meet me when I’m still
You melt my heart from ice to tears
Holding me through the pain
Exposing my love, once covered with fear
You shelter me from the rain
When others have pulled away
And gone to other places
You promised you’d always stay
You have…and filled the empty spaces
My husband you are the highest-
Over all the Universe
Yet, you cry and laugh with me
And intimately converse
I respect your Awesome Wisdom
Your Holiness and Power
No one measures up to you
Yet, I have you, every-minute of every-hour
In talking with you, I find myself
And I’m able to forgive-
My daily imperfections and others transgressions
In the troubled world I live
I love how you encourage me
And give strength to my inner man
How you bring me truth in everything
And support me in being all I can
I love how you’ll take the load
And lift it off my shoulders
How you sing a soothing melody
When life grows ever colder
I love how I can count on you
Your faithfulness sublime
How you shower me with many gifts
And there always just in time
You never try hurt me
Or make me feel low or small
You lovingly lead and guide me
In growing whole and growing tall
Oh, forgive me my heavenly husband
For the times I’ve pulled away
How hurt it must of made you feel
To not have my trust that day
I’m so sorry for leaving you
To run to an earthly man
Expecting him to fill in me
Only what you can.
I love you Always and Forever,
In Jesus Precious Name, Amen

NOTE: . For God's word says, "for your Creator will be your husband. The Lord Almighty is his name!
He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of all the earth. For the Lord has called you back
from your grief--as though your were a young wife abandoned by her husband," says your God" Isaiah 54:5,6
