Devotion

May you know, this year and always

that every moment is crafted by

HIS loving and perfect design.

I praise HIM because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

HIS works are wonderful, I know that full well.

HIS eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.

He formed my inward parts.

My frame was not hidden from him.

He fashioned my days when as yet there were none.

I want to celebrate you this day and all the days that follow.

I want to hold you and kiss you, and whisper all the sweet and tender feelings my heart holds for you.

I want to see you smile, hear your laughter and see happiness in your eyes.

I want you to feel loved and appreciated all through the years.

Yours forever

Eve

Commitment of Adam and Eve

Half a Woman

Incompleteness in a torrent

Engulfs me like a shroud,

Thick and heavy till it forces

Me to scream my needs out loud.

Loneliness rushes in around me,

Clammy, chilling, stagnate, cold.

I'm only half a woman -

Where's the man to make me whole?

Thoughts of lacking seem to drown me,

And my purpose washed away,

I'm just barely treading water -

Riding rapids day to day.

I am longing for belonging

To a family complete.

But I'm only half a woman

Till I find the right "help meet."

Dreams of loving, rolling gently,

Like a stream through quiet trees.

I feel waiting arms around me,

And a cool, refreshing breeze.

What is missing is the kissing,

With the force of love behind,

All the chasing and embracing,

For the love that would be mine.

Sighs of ending, flow and bending,

Like a whirlpool in the tide.

Thoughts of living swirling, whirling 

Out to see till we have died.
