My King

Only in you have I come so far 
And only through you could you have made me shine 
The stars In my mind compare only in you 
Grew from you as a mustard seed unto a tree 
And the light has set me free 
What do I give to such a lord 
What do you give a king 
I will crown him my victor 
And hero In my life 
Dedicate my writing 
And my guiding motivation
He is what helps me foot by foot 
But the steps are only one 
And we walk in one step 
As I lay upon his scared back 
The wounds heal my heart
And the nail pierced hands make me all one
Never apart 
The injured heart that I carry 
Knows you but evil may vary 
He walks in silence 
But in such a way 
That through his love I know what he is to say

Another week has come and gone and I haven't been able to read as much this week as I had wanted. I am glad I was able to read your poetry today Josh. Keep your pen scrolling don't let the ink dry up. I hope you have a wonderful weekend of sunshine and joy and find lots of inspiration along the way. Love, Carol
