I'll Remember... <33

7 years ago today... somewhere, in a church...


kindred souls
floating on this lonely sea
currents once carried them
arrival upon a shore meant to be

salt stung their eyes
and dried without cleansing rain
but they stepped onto glistening sand
and in focus the other came

earthly impressions left behind
distanced with growing pace
as strength was found
for a running embrace

in twilight he found her
as darkness faded away
no matter where they'd venture
companions from this fateful day

upon sands the journey began
and while blessed with love profound
foundations can only endure
when moved to higher ground

while gazing upon the mountain
only together could they climb
waves crashed about them
no true footing found in time

divided the waters brought them
with rising tide the Lord had spoken
"Let me guide you along this course"
testing trust of children broken

days will pass
weeks turn to years
but taking His hand we'll grow
and find purpose to our tears

the best days of my life
were seen through both our eyes
together we found joy
and blessings in disguise

while often blind we'd tread
no straight path followed through
my eyes weren't open to see
until I met you.
