Ten Years










The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

~Sassy Annie's Sigs~




(Sharon's Bars)



Twenty-nine years ago today
I married the love of my life.
We only had ten years together,
Oh, but what a ten years that was !!!!!!


Ten Years

The vows we shared replays; oh, so slowly in my mind
We walked up the aisle together, with our children close behind,
We pledged our love forever, in good times and in bad,
We had no idea just how bad a time we were to have.

Into your arms was always my “softest place to fall”
Your strength, your love, your gentleness,
You gave our love your all.
We laughed, we cried, we shared the storms
Our life was to sustain.
And through it all, you were there,
Your Love would be my gain.

You brought me flowers for no good reason,
We sang songs together in every season,
You were my life, my breath to me
With my heart in your hands, my soul was free.

Your illness came suddenly,
We trudged along fearfully side by side,
We cried, we prayed, we bargained but,
When Jesus called, He could not be denied.

We even learned to understand silent messages.
A look from your eyes could strip me of all my “vestiges”
You completely cradled me, and yet, you gave me space.
We toed the line together, and together, we won the race.

So we lived our lives as though each day
Could easily be our last.
The quality of our time together
For me, is treasuring the past.


 



Ten years is such a short time to try
To "live a lifetime" in.
My lifetime is remembering all that which
“Might have been”.
I'm holding now to Jesus' Left Hand,
And you are holding to His right,
Nineteen long years later, dear,
I'm holding
On with all my might.

And walking with Jesus daily so someday very soon.
He will call my name and He and I will meet you
Behind the moon………….
