The Vow

A poem I wrote for a dear friend of mine, Rachel Nottingham; she is such a blessing to me.  Hope you enjoy it!!  :)

I know we'll both have made mistakes,
And floundered on the Path;
But Darling, when I meet you,
Complete my Soul will be at last.
We may not know the day we meet,
Or even the month, or year -
But Love, our Paths will soon collide
For He faithfully draws His children near.
To share my life with you,
Every joy, every tear, every passion;
But darling, my greatest excitement is
To kneel together and praise our Heavenly Father.
For what grater gift is there
Than the knowledge we never need part?
That our lives here are spent serving Him,
Only is unison to place our crowns at His feet?
When we join hands at the alter
We join hearts for eternity -
I want to care for you my whole life,
Live as if I needed to earn your freely-given trust.
