Genesis 29

over 2 years have past now.
i serve my time everyday,
not knowing my offence. 

i work everyday to meet your needs.
how long lord, how long….
my beautiful Rachel.

i am not Jacob in this story,
i stand the place of Esau,
what was mine taken by Jacob.
still i will suffer for Rachel,
for the love that once burned hot in winter.

it has not yet been 7 years.
so is there still a slight possibility?
not only i be with you in dreams,
a life of fulfilled desires,
for it has only been a few days.

we were only children,
playing in the frosty air.
now we are young adults,
separated in this life that is unfair.
