My Dream Letter From You

Of all the letters you have written Your last letter is the best, And even in your apprehension Stands apart from all the rest! More love, more hope, more savoir faire than I have ever seen before The very pathway to your heart seems More and more an open door Apologies weren’t left unspoken Nor were any punches pulled Courageously pursuing joint health Your emotions left unschooled. I see real movement in your life now And a soul nearly unchained, No judgment if love comes or goes for Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And there’s new courage in your footsteps, New excitement in your smile, Forever friends that you can count on, Trust that makes your life worthwhile. Your anger at ‘God’s absence’ fading, His provision your strong arm, Emerging love of self that serves you, True faith that protects from harm. Those expectations that once killed love Now are lifting from your veil. While aspirations to be servant Nurture love that cannot fail. Oh feel my faith that Love’s the answer, Friend to ev’ry question known, The boundless fount of ev’ry smile’s light, Cure for ev’ry sacred groan. Brian Johnston January 8, 2015
