Poetry
“I would die for you!”
These were the words of loving sacrifice
That flowed freely and often from my lips
As a declaration of my love for you.
But so did hateful angry words
Explosively delivered.
“I would die for you!”
Words that seemed to come so easily
Then why was it so easy for me
To cause tears to flow
In eyes I would gladly drown in,
To erase that room-lighting smile
With a flick of my tongue?
“I would die for you!”
Words of love and sacrifice
Then why can I not sacrifice my anger?
Why can I not put to death my hurtful words
And let Love guide me in the Way?
Why is it so important for me to be right?
Would it not be better to be happy?
I have stolen your smile.
But I have the power to give it back again.
I have imprisoned your laughter.
But I can set it free.
If I am indeed willing to die for you,
Why am I not willing to live for you instead?
You do not wish me to take your place in death,
But to take my place by your side.
And so I make to you this vow:
I will walk my life-road in grace and peace,
Obediently following He who is the meaning of life
Even as I journey with the she who gives my life meaning
Will you travel that road with me?
Take my hand…it’s yours to hold.
Take my future…it’s yours to share.
Take this promise…it’s yours to trust.
You can put them all next to the heart that has always been yours
