Reckless Abandon

I waited for my father to come back
But he never did.
When I found him later,
He left again.

My husband has been leaving me,
And returning
But he’s gone for good,
And I’m learning.

You promised not to leave me
As an orphan
And You haven’t.
Will You love me more than these?

There is no one else coming for me.
I have lived between the cracks
For an entire lifetime.
Are You coming back?

You’ve shown me eternity.
If it weren’t so,
You would have told me.

P.S.

In spite of it all,
Thank You for all my days,
For the adventure We’ve been on
Through all the wandering ways
We’ve taken together.
You made faces at the dark
To make me laugh
You gave me Your spark
So I could look like You.

You taught me things
Too big for me to understand;
When I stumbled,
You steadied me in Your hands.
You’ve glowed with beauty
Beyond anything else I’ve seen
You’ve tenderly held me;
You’ve washed me clean.

You are the greatest love story of my life.

You are the only love story of my life.
