Want

Want

 

I want to play in mud puddles

and kiss you in the rain,

my pinky holding your pinky,

with nothing to explain.

 

I want to wake up beside you

and gently touch your face,

expressing more with just a touch

than words could ever say.

 

I want to watch as you create

reflections of your heart,

crafts and candles infused with love,

a kindness you impart.

 

I want to give you my shoulder

and tightly hold you close

when the world crushes your spirit

and you need me the most.

 

I want to live my life with you,

sharing everything,

from heartaches and tears, to all the

chores and joys of living.

 

In all of the ways that I can

I just want to love you,

as simple as those words may sound

it’s all I want to do.

Puzzle

Puzzle

 

Finding two pieces that fit together

takes forever

 

but persistence pays off in the long run,

truly for some.

 

The picture begins to become complete

for you and me

 

and I think that we can solve anything

that is puzzling.

Farming

Farming

 

Hardened, fallow ground, tilled to possibility,

Enriched by exposure to sunshine, gentle rain,

The field is ripe for cultivation once again.

So much begins from the potential of a seed,

Yet nothing grows without struggling against some weeds

So I toil from dawn to dusk but never complain

Because I believe that nothing is done in vain

And we reap what we sow has always worked for me.

I never lose my innocent awe as things grow

From seed to sprout to bountiful harvest at last.

I’ve learned the value of patience, to take things slow,

Knowing the rewards of hard work are unsurpassed.

Such simple wisdom we should never outgrow,

For the fruits of our labor pass away too fast.
