Your smile folds into your
beautiful cheeks
as your glad eyes examin mine.
No human words pass
between us,
but your eyes sing of
the proud heart
that you carry for me.
In those eyes I see
who I am.
Our proximity allows me to
feel the rhythm of your warm breath.
Life without you near
wouldn’t makse sense now that
my eyes have seen.
Now kneeling, my tears make
hot and sticky trails
washing over your feet.
You have made me new
Daily- you shape me, prune me
You are the Great Challenger
of my heart.
Every step, every breath,
every yes of mine
shows me the beauty of
your layed down life.
You are my rose,
and I am your joy-
the gladness of your heart
for which you were crushed.
I didn’t earn this by
what I do, or who I am
But you have purchased me
with indestructible life.
This is the foundation of
who I am.
Now this is our victory dance,
you are the conqueror, I
am your spoils.
These garments you have
placed upon me
as if they were always my own.
This waltz with you, my King,
Is intentional with every step.
If I am your joy,
then you are a part of me-
you are within me,
filling me up to overflowing.
Your dance is now mine,
my heart is now yours.
King of Gladness,
you are chief among them all.
