many is the time
'Unto Our Meant To Be'
circumstance
had her chance
but we plundered through
repaired the damage of
misunderstanding
and carried on
we stood united
victors
trudging upon the ashes
of her defeat
we are more
before
the gentle reflection
of the other
I like this me that you have revealed
I've missed her all this time
and likely not known it
not until now
you are the matching jacket
to everything for me
you are sky to my soaring bird
and I meadow to your sunset
what would each be without
the other
little more than a shadow
of some trumped up tomorrow
that never came to be
God
and his amazing stunning pathways
he uses to unite people
so otherwise unlikely
eligible to meet
I stand in awe at the chasm
of all that we have created in
and for each other
such a tiny little almost missed
bridge
and had I missed it
my heart would have never known you
not now
not as beautifully
nor as hauntingly deep
would I be just this privy
to delve
another would have come along
and snapped you up for her own
and I would have missed out
on my loveliest ideal
and went to my grave never having known
for that tiny un missed bridge by me
I thank God in all his blinding glory eternally
for showing me he knows just how
to draw me closer to him
to do the bidding and blessing
that he wanted
for us
that is
my staggering wonderful you
and this pathetically grateful me....................
