You said it last night Such welcome words Words that are in my bones For all my life And how great is your timing On the eve of my despair Crying out to you Exhausted in the waiting Longing for companionship Aware of my need The reality of what you said So long ago now “It is not good For man to be alone” But now you have an answer Your word comes like a breeze Rushing in on the wind of the night Blowing across this desert This thirsty land where I dwell Within and without All for full of your light Liquid gold and amber Love in tangible form Felt and strong Yet invisible to the natural eye How I need this reassurance For it is nearly two decades now Since you first said it That I would indeed marry And the time since The reminders have at times Almost seemed torturesome Due to the length of that wait But you are the One who is true So again I dare to believe you Thank you for this promise That I will finally know a union One flesh in your Spirit And little ones who come with it As you have spoken before The voice from the throne says it Clear and undeniable in reality The Word himself has spoken Stretched across the gulf And soothed my aching heart And now you say that I am A family man Stephen Pursell, 4/14/15 |  |
