April 2018 – Hopeless Wonderings

For the Broken

You are not alone.

Though this world holds darkness unimaginable

And pain that is unbearable to face,

You will not face these things alone.

Though cracks may form

And scars will deepen in your soul,

You will not fix these things alone.

We will be there.

Though you may not want to let us in

And even if you are reluctant to accept the help,

We will hold the pieces of you together.

Though it will take time

And you may not feel allowed to take it,

We will be patient with you and all the time you need.

You are not alone in this hardship,

We are here waiting to love you back to whole.

I stand in awe of her.

The kindness of her soul knows no bounds and the warmth of her smile is contagious.

Her beauty penetrates the hearts of all she meets and leaves an everlasting impression.

She has wit and humor unmatched by any I’ve know before her.

She was kissed by the sun and with the wildness of the sea within her.

She is a fierce protector of those she loves, even at the expense of herself.

Bold and brave she fights through the world unafraid.

She is my person, and our hearts will remain tethered through this life.

For she has stolen so much of mine and I of hers that they are one.
