More Than I Could Show You:

Time passes too quickly for me now. Ive learned many things with you, but the most comforting has been the hope that someday we'll have an eternity to go, with so much more to know. I hear the sweetest whisper calling to me and I may be the first to reluctantly cross the River Jordan. I am not afraid and if so, one day you shall find me waiting for you on the other shore, just through a wispy veil. How wonderful our reunion and more than memories for our love has been sweet. You do know you mean the world to me no matter the seasons of our life? I apologize. I know you don't like me talking about all this. And surprise you flash your eyes at me, then calming again I see your tears and uncomfortable smile.

I won't see anyone as lovely as you, with your big easy smile and more hazel than all the stars in heavenly eyes. I am forever grateful for the breath-taking specs of green and gold that captured my heart. You always told me you suspected it was your figure that first caught my attention, but at last please hear the truth. It was something strikingly radiant deep in your eyes, like a sacred message only I could see. It was very intimate as it rushed upon me. I understood. It was then I felt my own soul come alive and I knew you. I knew you would be willing to help me to reach out beyond my lonely dreams, into our dreams, and to capture so much more. And surprise I became we and we could.

You walked me past the dark of my days and brightened the nights. I have never adequately expressed the ways I love you. I cherish the way you giggle, and God help me, I like the way you fight! Win, lose, or draw you are more gracious than I am and I love it all because you are. All you ever asked was for me to be myself. Occasionally my pride got the best of me and I felt driven to try and be what I was not; thinking I would become better than I was, pretending to be better than I am. I didn't always do so well did I? And surprise you just giggle and hug me.

More sure and more steady we shall stretch and reach. More freely, more pure, more fully than we have loved before; we shall love. I love you more than I have been able to show; it's all more than I could show you I say. And surprise you remind me that today is sufficient and our simple love is enough.

You loved me first and like our Lord you have loved me best. How do I repay for all the ones I love because of you, because of Him? I will tell Father there is no one more dear to my heart. I will tell Him I won't see anyone as lovely as you, my helpmate, my best friend, and my true love. I shall thank Him endlessly for our blessings I say. You lay your head across my heart and assure me that He knows; He already knows. And Surprise I hear the sweetest whisper and promise, like a prayer, that you do too.
