Did I Mention I Love You

Come sit with me my love
I’ve longed for you today
I see you my sweetness you’re tired
Let me give you rest
This world can beat you down
Leave you worn 
                      afraid 
                               questioning
It’s supposed to my love
Because sometimes you wait until
You are tired, worn, afraid
And full of questions 
Before you come


 I love you
                    I love you
                                       I love you


With a deep unquenchable love
If you only knew how precious you are to me  
If you only realized how I watch you
Going day to day, 
Trying so hard to keep up

I smile at your strength and determination
But my love in your weakness I will give you strength
Beyond your imagination

I love you
                   I love you

                                       I love you


 Just     the     way     you     are


                     NOT
Bigger
Not stronger 
Not thinner
Not more gentle
Not more intelligent
Not happier
Not more beautiful
Not more pleasant 

You     are     my     child

You can never delve too deeply into sin or
walk far enough away from me to change that

If you being sinful desire to protect, and cherish and love your children

How     much     more     do     I

signed, your Heavenly Father

I am lost for words here, there is no greater love in this world than the love from our father Jesus Christ. Outstanding presentation here.. He will never leave you nor forsake you.He will stand by you and guide you across many journeys. Through the hardest storms, trials and tests he will be your strength,your armor, your protector and your shelter.Well I guess I am not at a lost for words after all,when it comes to God, There is never enough to be said..He's simply Wonderful..GB, Always Tyesha

....at least within my own perceptions as to its in part meanings and hopeful intents I am sure!!? Yet, whom is to truly know the authors full emotions from within their words!?!?:):) But aside from these things Laurie~I sincerely loved the way that You paraphrased and leaned upon different verses of love, promise, reassurance, comfort and hope, from within "The Priceless Treasures of Your Father In Heavens Words!!!!!":):)....cont....

I'm late in getting back to you...my first interpretation was off track, as I see so clearly now...but it is a remarkable, poem of love, and it still moves me. I should have seen where your were coming from here to begin with.....only our heavenly father can love with such completeness. A heartfelt write...Ms Ginn.

Wow. Well, I think I am interpreting this differently. I am seeing this as God speaking to you. Deeply inspiring, comforting and what I would love to believe you truly hear. Sorry if I am off. Love, Shar

Wow...once again, you have written a stunning declaration of a mother's love....it is so wonderful to read that kind of respect and devotion...all chidren should be held in such high regard by their parents....unfortunately, that is not always the case. Yours are truly blessed, Laurie! You have melted this mother's heart...I feel the same. ... xox

This is breathtaking. Just breathtakingly beautiful. thanks for your comments today. I could never do that, however, I just got this box yesterday (wrote that last night) and it's considered evidence, as well as way to precious to burn...it's all I've got, ya know? anyway, a nice thought. love, Kristin
