Worth Everything I Give
I gave a piece of myself,
Something gentle and true
Trickling with teardrops,
Melting the darkness, the fear
With kindness and carefully
Laced feelings, beauty – honesty
Sincere as the wind, rustling
Laughter from the dawn
Where I laid up all my memories,
Dreams alive in hues so warm
It feels like they are alive,
Baking in the sun
I gave a part of my heart,
Without pride or arrogance
Dressed in grace, tender faith
Pouring hope like a rainstorm
Drenches the moments in
Miraculous nourishment, reassuring
The hungry soul with an embrace
From the best inspiration,
Like the imagination’s whisper
As it glimpses wonders beyond surrender
Sensations willing to tremble,
Like the ache of a smile who is wise,
A light so brilliant it stirs hope
And feelings so faithful, so grateful
Like a prayer, breathed from the past
Remembered in the moment
When the answer encourages, blesses
Caresses the spirit with belief
Echoes of dreams, starving for sustenance,
Embraces, kisses – a touch
From the heartfelt moment when love
Strokes the day with silence,
The night with moonlight rising
I gave a slice of light
Caressing life, illuminating
Shadows with a fire, desires
Swift and strong, more powerful
Than the silhouette of dawn,
The ghost of a moment
When my heart lunged forward,
Breaking through the fear
Hushing the past with all its doubt
So hope glistens like the stars
In the summer skies,
Revealing the flickering joy,
Firefly adventures – twinkling
In the distance, miracles
Lifting wings in beating tales
Staring just beyond the laughter
Into the blazing passions,
Flaming infernos of exhilaration
Promising the peace
That only comes to life in the one
Who listens to the stillness
Found in the hope of the Son
I gave into the Savior
Since then I have kindled
Silence so I can hear
Its praises, its prayers, its ways
Into the moments when
His hand reaches just beyond
My worries, my doubts
Relieving my spirit of its fear,
Singing grace into my soul,
Calming, comforting, proving to me
Love is worth everything I do for it
And more, so very much more!
