Poem
It’s never been about the hint of color
Blushing just beneath his sapphire eyes
It’s never been about the way he laughs,
The kindness that abides in his smile,
The grace that brings such inspiration,
The music that never fades despite the 
Weather and the crazy way that winter
Inspires wonder and gentleness, warmth
By a fire of tears and dimly lit compassion

It’s never been about the silence vibrating
Just beneath the snowfall blanketing the lawn
It’s never been about the lingering shadows
Vanishing behind a wall of sunlit memories,
The prayers and praise that make me enjoy
Sunday sermons and scriptures who impress
Me more than the way dewdrops glide, gently
Down a rose petal, a delicate leaf, a spider’s web
Sensing the moment, that perfect moment…

When light will reflect the sensation, the magic
That dims the dread and rearranges the mysteries
So that there is absolute joy in the astonishing way
He kisses me, with a flame that burns away every 
Insecurity without reminding me that I am old now,
Not the young girl who promised him my love.

I am broken and dying, weakening with each moment
Each day brings a new wrinkle or gray hair, a new
Memory that evaporates into the night, silencing
My hopes for someday, when I will do everything just right,
When the perfect way will come to me and I’ll be sure
When time won’t bring me such doubtfulness
And the moments won’t feel like I need to remake
With a prayer for flawlessness, precision, completion…

This is wisdom – knowing that, despite the fact 
That every moment brings me closer to the end of this life…
And I will know darkness, discouragement and strife…

Every moment also brings me the assurance that I 
Can know, with certainty, that I have lived life to the fullest…
	Because I know the One who makes me complete
And, as long as I have Him – I have everything I’ll ever need!
