Happy Anniversary, Darling

His love silences the lonely
In a moment of insecurity, his love
Promises to hold me
When the darkness whispers
My name, 
His love expresses the beautiful
In shimmering stars, a moon
Flowing with dreams, 
His love remembers to be with me
When others turn away –
Remembering only the sins that say
She is wrong. She is wicked.
She is the one that stole, that lied,
That believed in the bitterness
Betraying her uncertainty and pride.

His love brings me warmth,
Despite the cold, the ache, the breathless
Pain that pierces my heart,
Reminds me that self-loathing
Has always been my way out –
In secret, where I know the meaning
Beneath the tears, the fears, the years
Dancing to a song of discouragement,
Aching to know the joy that comes
To life in the ones who love
Without conditions, with love that 
Convinces the spirit
To listen to the melody,
Discounting the broken dreams,
Overlooking the sorrows, the worries
With assurance that this life –
It is worth it because we can be sure
True love is there for me and you

His love embraces my thoughts,
Sends light through my dreams,
Kindles the intimacy,
Inspires me to believe, to be
The light who shines through nights
Like these, who fear even
The stars, the moon, the fireflies
Who sparkle in June –
His love is the wonder beyond beautiful.
It is grace. It is truth. It is me and you..
Working our way through the doubts,
Finding the courage to be friends
With the fear that haunts,
The worry that taunts,
The colors of a soul who knows
Hues of blue don’t always mean
That the hope is true or the forlorn
Is meant only for you.

His love dispels all the doubt
Keeping alive the passions
Who breath desire into our faith,
Daring into our second chance,
Valor into our prayers –
As they echo all of our cares,
Reminding the heart who believes
That, through faith, we can do anything.
Through the confidence – that
Only God Himself can bring,
We can know what it means to share
A love that restores, adores, assures –
	A love like this is pure bliss!

His love destroys my insecurities
Because his love is like a river, flowing
With the promises of faith, the belief
That, with God between us – freeing us
From the anxiety and neediness…
Together, with Him, we can know love
That is forever alive, surviving every time…
So that always means our love will delight
In keeping us through the sorrows of night
Giving us the strength to endure the pains
That may come but will never destroy
Two hearts who love like there is no tomorrow!

His love is my way of making it through those days –
When all I can do is say – lets pray and thank God
For bringing our hearts and souls into a relationship
That I’m sure God Himself sanctified, blessing us
With love that is a promise from the One who made us both!

Happy Anniversary, Darling – I know that our love
Is strong enough to make it through any storm we weather,
Because God has blessed us with love that is forever!
