You Texted Me

Last night around nine

I was sure not feeling fine

till you texted me.

You texted me - and -

your thoughts met mine, like sunshine!

...the night fell away.

So thank you -

I am fine.

I appreciate you!

Hurt

You were the one... or

so I thought. I hang on...

like a fool, I hurt.

I hang on, I hope -

I'm thinking these thoughts of you.

I console myself...

I'd rather hurt than

to hurt you... you'll always be

appreciated.

I return

to my thoughts.

Flowers in the Garden

Appreciate the beauty in others,

that's why flowers grow in God's garden.

If one stands out to the eye of thy heart

- do not pick it -

do not ruin it with selfish desires

nor grip it too tightly with you mind.

Just be patient and gently let her grow.

Do this

knowing in your love that

if that flower is for you, O heart,

- God Himself -

will plant you next to each other.

Awkward

Awkward is that space

between two moments - frozen -

between two strangers.

At the threshold of

welcome and friendship - it's there -

The caution of love.

The choice is...

must be made.

If you can't live with awkward, you can't live with brave.

Secret Flower

There once was a flow'r
that our LORD made for Himself
deep in His Garden...

And the LORD took me,
and I saw, His secret flow'r
and my heart blossomed.

I have found,
my Gracie.

This is a poetic expression of how I met this awesome cat, er - girl. This one didn't really pan out though.

Are some relationships just not meant to be or am I a little lacking in courtship skills? Oh well...

Gracella, you calico cat.

The Law of Dating

I like this, oh yes,
I like that in a woman!
Then the heart wakes up...

In matters of love,
what one likes, is not always
what one gets, my friend.

Love chooses
to like love.

Shyness

O first base, first base...

What happens after first base?

I have to find out.

I think I am shy.

But I know sometimes I'm not.

It really depends.

A good wife

is from God.
