Remember

Remember

You met on that beautiful night

Your heart ran away

Promises of “I’ll love you forever’s”

And “I’ll never go away”

Butterflies in your stomach

Desires running so deep

This must be what God wants for me

He satisfies my deepest need

But moments turn to days

Days turned into years

Suddenly everything you wanted

Became your deepest fear

Conversational smiles over breakfast

Turn into barely looking at me

We are no longer in love

But strangers with memories

How did it go wrong?

When did it go awry?

No midday phone calls

And today again I cried

We pass each other every single day

With barely so much as a “hello”

We are dying deep inside

Yet still can’t let each other go

Once a home of life

A dream still untold

But a house of cards

And doors begin to close

Not knowing where to turn

I reach up toward the sky

Crying out in prayer

I don’t understand...please tell me why

There was the worst silence

I ever in my life heard

Not a sound did I experience

Not a single little word

As a tear of desperation fell

When I knew I was alone

I heard a sobering voice

“Tell me what seed you have sown”

You only bring me to your life

When you have had enough

Even though I gave you all the tools

From my garden of divine love

You never mention me in life

Unless your heart starts to break

Do you see how the silence

Can be more than anyone can take

Do you not understand?

All things must come through me

It isn’t about you

Or whatever you think you may need

The love I send to you is a gift

Not something that you are owed

It is the beginning of bigger love

The seed you are supposed to sow

But when you walk through life

As if your love is enough

I’m telling you it is

But only if it’s replenished from above

You may have known love

As beautiful as a rose

But you cannot contain anything

And not allow it to grow

And my child the only growth

I wish you could see

Comes from replenishing it

All must come through me

So rest your weary heart

Remove it from your mind

I will replenish your love

And that of all mankind 
 

Before life gets overwhelming

And you begin to lose your way

Remember the blessings of your life                                        

And fall to your knees to pray
