when i am broken

“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” Prov. 18:22 (KJV)

For my Wonderful Wife on her Birthday, May 13

was it for me
you came
when days were lonely
and would it be
the same
if life were only
for the lucky
and the strong?
will you be there
for me
when bruised and weary
i need a hand
that’s free
to gently steer me
past the rights that
have gone wrong?

i will be there
in rain
and sunny weather
serenity
or pain
our life together
shall recover
from all scars
am i enough
for dreams
you fondly cherish
where in a world
that seems
dark and nightmarish
you keep reaching
for your stars?

will faith redeem
your love
if by a token
you must my heart
reprove
when i am broken
should at night i
lose my way?
you must believe
how much
i live to love you
even to feel
as such
unworthy of you
though i need you
everyday.
