In Grateful
Love
In twisting
uncertainty I leapt,
And you
opened your arms to me,
In following
my searching, though certain heart,
You provided
for me,
That which
every person seeks,
A home.
You let me
cry in your arms,
You let me
sleep in your bed,
You invited
me to eat at your table,
You listened
to far too many bumbling words.
You let my
body rest,
When it
should have kept working.
And through
all of this,
Your insane compassion and graciousness,
Saved my
life.
Steven as
Husband, Molly as Wife.
With this
love, all things are possible.
All things
can change.
Your greatest
gift together might be
Your
inclination and ability to hold a woman upright,
When she is
bonelesss, broken.
You offered
time and your intimate space for healing.
With a smile
on my face and tears of
Gratitude on
my cheek,
I bow to you.
The greatest
performances of your lives,
may not be
those you gift on the stage,
But the
enduring gifts of love that heal others in your presence.
I am forever
in debt to you.
A debt that I
take on with pride,
As a promise
to love you forever,
And use my
life as a service to others,
As you have
served me.
In loving
honor, I celebrate your unbreakable strength together.
May you
always choose mercy and devotion with yourselves and the world.
With a healed
heart I breathe new life.
