Even after 8 3/4 years of marriage, hubby still surprises me. He wrote this poem for me after Heather died. I'm probably biased and a bit flattered, but I think it is excellent. I hope you enjoy it too.
"Jesus Wept"
By, Hubby
On seeing Lazarus bound in death,
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus wept.
Two sisters from their brother parted,
Aching, grieving, broken-hearted.
And when they see the Prince of Life,
They feel not joy, but deeper strife.
“If you had come, all would be well!”
Martha accuses Emmanuel.
“Believe in me, you’ll never die”
Replies the One who tells no lies.
“But so my glory you may see,
I come here to weep with thee.
You are grieved by Lazarus’ death,
Yet I’m the one who gave him breath.
This world is not as I intended;
So I, the Father sends to mend it.
My life, for you, I freely give,
So with loved ones you may live.
And when closest friends from earth are swept,
Know that like you, with you, I have wept.”
You are Boy-Trapped if: You have little plastic army guys guarding your fireplace. Your decorative pillows are more often part of a fort than ambiance. There is always a little boy voice on the other side of the bathroom door. Every time you settle down to read your Bible there is a boy in your lap. Every surface in your house is covered in lego fortresses...and you wouldn't have it any other way!
