Poetry - Blue Water

Blue Water

We find ourselves in a new place,

Certainly something that we never expected.

We were sailing along quite fine,

Close to the shore, but getting nowhere.

A light appeared from above, angels too,

Could this be what we really need right now ??

 Do we even dare since we know so little,

But there is a calm feeling, knowing and hoping.

It must be dreams and prayers that are being answered,

By the Lord who has always been here for us.

We are now headed in a completely new direction,

Blue waters that are so deep and uncertain to us.

We should feel scarred with all the big waves,

And the winds that are hitting our faces.

We have left behind sadness and all the hurts,

To find ourselves anew, full of love and peace.
 
We have survived, changed, grown with love,
Because we took a chance with God in our hearts,

He has shown us how to grow and be amazed,

And find a place full of love just for us together.

A poem written for my sweetheart Nicole Lynn

For her birthday. She amazes me and is so precious.
