My Goal-My Love

Since you and I met My goal has been To be all I can be For you In order to achieve this goal I turned to the Lord For guidance Without you I’m nothing A lonely ship in a crowded harbor An empty hull creaking with the tide Without the Lord I’m unworthy Just an empty soul Unable to satisfy an unquenchable thirst Since you and the Lord entered my life I have changed in every way I have learned Everyday is a gift Every gift is a treasure Every treasure should be cherished This is why I cherish and I adore you I’m proud enough to lead our family Strong enough to keep us safe Honest enough to admit my faults Wise enough to realize I can’t do it alone Humble enough to follow the Lord Faithful enough to always believe That the heart of a man belongs on his sleeve I wear mine proudly and I always will Tell the world of the Lady who taught me to feel

Meeting your wife made such a difference in your life, M.J. We can all benefit when we have someone by our side to show us the way to live as God intended. You might consider entering this in the Epiphany contest because it certainly focuses on a sudden realization of those things that are most important to us. Well done, my friend. Love, Carolyn
