Guarding Your Heart
I carry your heart( I carry it in my heart)
—ee-cummings
As I always have.
The first time
I fell asleep
Beside you
And listened
To your breath.
When I pray
I ask forgiveness
For both of us,
(Although I need
It more).
I couldn’t bear
Being separated
From you,
So we both
Have to share
The same fate;
And if I deserve
Heaven more
I ask God
To tip the scales
The way I did
When finding reasons
To marry you—
To overcome
All obstacles
And make my faith
Credible,
And although
Parts of you and me
Are impossible
Our love
Is irrepressible.
Your being here,
Makes life
Bearable...
And living
Without you
Unacceptable.

Hi John,
This is a beautiful capture of love between married believers. Thank you.
😄😇😄
Hi Creatr - Thanks - it is honest if nothing more - listening to your heart is hard - following it is precarious unless it is informed...hmm, an educated heart...yeah, I like that, kind of like renewing your mind in accordance with God's Word :)
