Giving
Memories bubble to
the surface
Percolate through
layers of time
Once forgotten
return in an instant
Moments of joy and
excitement
Visit places from
our courtship
When young and naïve
When arrogantly had
life under control
Untested
relationship as explore
Yet here we are
after all the years
Knocked down yet
still pressing on
Scars of battle mark
the soul and mind
As mature love
nurtured
Endurance in the
race
Marriage change
multiple times
As love expands with
each season
A journey not for
the faint of heart
Growth that only
happens in close quarters
Exposes all the
selfishness and dark within
Not knowing it was
even there
Deep work with
Father to transform
New relationship
with Father
Experience Him in a
deeper intimacy
Receive grace,
mercy, love, and forgiveness
Brokenness the path
to knowing depths of Him
Little by little
change comes
Respond in a new
ways
See vistas only
another can offer
Entwined together
