I said a while ago that I wanted to get into writing love poems for my wife. Here's the first one.

------------------------------

My wife is the moon,
I carefully observe her movements.

When I am dark,
she illuminates the world for me.

She is brightest and most beautiful
in the light of His countenance.

A light too bright to see,
she gracefully reflects it to me.

I bring her with me near the sun
in hopes of seeing her again.

To attain to that pure beauty,
I can only pursue.

She draws near to me,
and I am moved.

It is the pattern of her own volition,
the sweet consequence of God's gift to us.

I reach out to her with all my strength,
I sing my sweetest melodies to communicate my love.

The ocean turns violently around me;
the wind fills my atmosphere.

The clouds do not hide you from me;
I feel you near me, even when it is dark.

I will never stop loving you;
your presence shows the light of God to me.

------------------------------

I call it "Mirror of my Spirit" -- because that's what my wife is to me, reflecting God's heart into my life, completing my joy, and demonstrating to me through her nature the fullness of God's grace.

I haven't given it to her yet. I know she reads this sometimes, so whether she reads it here first or reads the handwritten copy I'll make for her, I hope she is blessed by it.

ETA: Forgot to mention, really liking this song right now.


"사랑하고 축복합니다."
