Poem
I remember it was a cold morning There was down pour of rain the previous day It was still drizzling a bit It was an airy morning very quiet Remember the smell of rain Very fresh morning For the first time in a long while I remembered my wife Lucinda We had been estranged That morning all I thought of was the cross The forgiveness of all my sins by Jesus That day I made up my mind to forgive Lucinda Forgiveness for adultery It was the fourteenth day of February What a coincidence with Valentine’s Day I drove to Lucinda’s house I could hear my heart beating Out of anxiety of how she will receive me Our separation was quite nasty At her door I fidgeted with the bell Lucinda was speechless when she saw me We didn’t speak a word to one another I hugged her in an embrace that was like eternity We still didn’t speak but we knew what we were saying to one another My heart reached out to her, like the father and his prodigal son Lucinda was my high school sweet heart When we got home Lucinda’s heart and my heart had a dialogue I had forgiven her totally Forgiveness the gift of love Love that covers multitude of sins, casting out every fear I made dinner that night, dished it out and washed the dishes afterwards We didn’t have much money but we celebrated love with what we love Especially with the gift of ourselves Lucinda knew I was a dry man So she warmed the atmosphere with some scented candles And Peabo Bryson music There was no more quarrel but tranquillity It was romance at its best I gave Lucy a gift and her eyes lighted up with surprise That night we privately exchanged our vows again Hmmmmm it was a happy day, night, hour, second Thank you Jesus My home was restored again on Valentine’s Day Lucinda broke the silence When she looked at me and in a love coated voice She said to me I love you my boo My heart leaped, as I responded with tears in my eye and emotion laden voice: I know Jehovah is indeed love And he still performs miracles It is good to let go of hurts and embrace reconciliation, I said in my thoughts Thinking of all that had happened Forgiveness begins with self and ends with the recipient of mercy God still sings and still speaks even on valentines day Lets listen and we will surely hear
