Marriage
There is a tiny bush that is planted right outside our front door which has never bloomed since it was put in the ground - every year I had hopes that it would put forth its flowers and scent and perfume the air all around.
But it has had its own timetable, waiting through the seasons of the year, until now, peeking out from between the leaves, purple buds began to appear.
The grew taller each day, first one branch then two, and in the course of a week, there they were, groups of branches all arranged in threes.
I find myself each morning peeking out, just to see if they finally have bloomed in dainty clusters of purple smelling so sweet, for a lilac in the south in full bloom in the spring will be the rarest and most wonderful of treats.
Each day I awake just like that, full of anticipation for what the new day will bring to my sight.
My heart is filled with such joy, my mind full of thoughts of you, whatever the weather, my day will be shining and bright.
For each hour we are together brings new treasures of love made new, like buds on a branch, just beginning to bloom, is every moment I spend with you.
The most wonderful thing is that, unlike the plant about to bloom by our front door, whose flowers will come, stay for a while and then fade away, our love will bloom forever more.
I thank God each morning and night for the bouquets He's put in my life, for our love that every morning is fresh and new, for the happiness and the joy that He has given me to share, and I gather them up, my arms full of the flowers of love, and along with my heart I give them all to you.
