Forward Looking

Constantly in my thoughts

When I want him to,

And even when I dont want him,

He is always with me

Memories of him,

Causing me to weep with gladness.

How I long to hear his voice,

When am beaming with smiles,

Downcast with a frown

Or simply staring out into the heavens.

His words of wisdom lift me up,

The sound of his laughter,

Like the oil and balm of Gilead,

Heals my hurt.

When he tells me he loves me,

It’s like he is giving me the sun in a gold dish,

Containing every precious stone found in all the ends of the earth.

When he holds me in his arms,

Like a vault protecting items of unquestionable and immeasurable wealth,

I know I am loved,

Yet I feel as though I am not there quit there yet.

As if in that hug there is still space to be filled.

And when he tells me how much he misses me,

It’s as though a precious belonging was lost,

And then recovered.

You know that kind of joy,

A joy so full you burst into a million pieces,

Joy at having found such a dear belonging.

And every time I lay reminiscing on our times past,

I just smile.

A genuine one that conveys the deepest of feelings.

He is my pride and joy.

In fact, I preside over his fan club.

Pearls and platinum,

Rubies and rhinestones

Silver and sequins

Diamonds and emeralds

None do justice in embellishing my person,

For he is my greatest adornment.

Though I hate the distance between us now,

I guess this is how it’s meant to be,

For it has made me realize how much I want him in my life every day.

The distance has ironically made me closer to him.

I look forward,

Beyond the now,

And trust that sometime soon:

Because there is time for everything,

I’ll be with him,

And him with me.
