A poem.
God provides the foundation
On which our home is built
A solid base that anchors it
To soft soil or shifting sand
Your strength is the structure
That keeps this delicate form
From blowing, washing away
When the wind and rain come
Your dedication is the frame
That holds up this fragile life
As it reaches toward heaven
Buttressing its soaring wings
And though we need the Lord
Who shelters and protects us
Our home would lie in ruins
If not held together by you
For my wife.

That’s beautiful, Michael. Very touching.
Thank you, David! I wrote it as a personal poem for my wife on her birthday. I was planning to keep it private, but we talked about it and thought that others might enjoy it too. I’m happily surprised by the response. I’m glad to share it.
What a wonderful thing for you to do. You know, I’m glad you shared it. It’s a wonderful sentiment. My hat goes off to you. 🙂
Wow! Interesting and very inspiring.
Thank you very much! I appreciate it. I wrote it for my wife for her birthday, but we thought it would be nice to share with others. I’m glad you like it. 🙂
