May I Half Your Heart

Maybe I misunderstood When I agreed to honor your request Half belongs to me And the other, I choose to invest ....in loving you Boundaries are important No one can have ALL they desire So why are you disappointed/surprised That I don't have a ROARing fire ....in pursuit of you After all this time together Why would you question my comittment We have children together Wondering has produced resentment ....in my needing you Now, why now, would you want ALL Is my heart supposed to breathe for you Shall all movements in life Reflect the beauty of blue (means love) ....though I thrive in green (means life-giving) Where am I if I am in you Do I not have a "me" outside of your name I am naked before you Accepting that I am to blame ....for being deaf ........I didn't hear......correctly.....forgive me ....................no, HEAR me Am I a ME on my own Can I be seen without LOVE What is LIFE without LOVE No more than breathing without purpose ..hmmm If I have no greater vision Than to be the green inside the blue You may HAVE my heart If I can be your LOVE in all I say and do Written by Trudy Schrader on 07-18-2018 Note: Shema means "to hear." The whole point of the WORD, is to HEAR. When we look at the woman in Genesis 2, she didn't "hear" Daddy God, because she was inside the man when Daddy God gave instructions. She indeed made an error in her words to the serpent. Check it out, and get Revelation.
