How long have I loved you?
Dear God, I don’t know.
I remember the first night you walked in the room.
I knew that I knew you.
My heart had felt like a tomb.
We talked and we laughed.
We sang the prayer song.
We feasted and fought.
It was hard not be strong.
I waited and watched
As your journey commenced.
I held my breath when
You sat on the fence.
You did not know
If you were coming or going.
I wanted to beg you stay.
But then my heart would be showing.
I did not know what I could give you.
I had no idea what to do.
But as an old woman told me,
“Just see it through.”
A few weeks ago
I felt I had
no purpose or worth.
I was tired of living alone
on the earth.
My parents had gone.
I was very aggreviating.
I felt so alone.
I was not communicating.
Then one morning you reminded me
I had my graduate in “nag.”
I knew then it was not time
For me to throw in the towel.
My heart was breaking.
I wanted to howl.
So when you called me
Because you felt so alone.
I could relate.
I could tell you
Right on the phone,
“How long have I loved you?
Dear God, I don’t know.”
You are on the road home now.
Perhaps, it is by choice.
You are living on the edge now.
You will not take up so much space.
You are working with at-one-ment.
You are not running a race.
You are taking your time now.
You are living and how.
You have made your decision
To be happy joyous and free.
With regards to the future
“Just let it be.”
The song says
‘Many things about tomorrow
I don’t seem to understand.
But I know who holds the future
Is the one that is holding my hand.’
Let go and let God
You are in the right place.
Welcome home little Son.
Welcome home.
