Notes About The Poem

My beloved speaks and says to me:
“Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
    and come away,
11 for behold, the winter is past;
    the rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth,
    the time of singing[a] has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
    is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree ripens its figs,
    and the vines are in blossom;
    they give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
    and come away.  Song of Solomon 2: 10 forward

Come Away My Love

.




                    My Beloved                       does speak 
                      Arise                                                my love
                    Come                                                    away                        
                In my spirit, I hear Him say, come, come go with me
               Yes, my Love, I will follow You anywhere You lead me
              Only through Your gift of grace, can I follow You though
            I can see the gates swing wide, and the beauty from inside
           As He  takes my hand,  and upon pure gold I stand,   dazzled
          The heavenly sights, the heavenly sounds, and people surround
           All the loved ones who have gone on before, ancestors unknown
           People who are blood kin,  those who adopted me into their fold 
            So many to love me draw me in, give the love that was missi'n
             Grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts and uncles, cousins, too
               Stack upon stack who I never knew, and years upon years 
                 I am given to explore, all of those that have gone before
                   Only through the shed blood of my Lord and Savior
                     Dying on the cross, He did me the greatest favor
                        In His lovin' arms I can relax and be laid back
                           He understands me from the inside out
                              Knows my thoughts and motives
                                  Nothing I can hide from Him
                                      He loves with agape love 
                                        He loves me as I am
                                            Accepts me
                                              And calls
                                               Come

"He understands me from the inside out/ Knows my thoughts and motives/ Nothing I can hide from Him". He loves us all and when His love fills our hearts, we are able to bring all into our loving fold . Beautiful poem, beautifully formatted !

A heartful, dear one! Of course I love the bible quote…those figs ripe, full blossoms and fragrant compared to the one that Jesus cursed that produced no fruit! God bless you on this late Sunday afternoon!

I was thinking today about how many people who are my ancestors by blood or genetics and then those who are kin by adoption and also those who are kin because we know Jesus as our personal Savior so this love poem came out of those thoughts. Sara
