Hunkered down in my heart
Sat a man of love letters,
His flesh tearstained paper,
Scrawled with the pleas
Of His love I so frequently
Ignored, breathing quiet,
Patient as He prayed with
Eyes closed, setting the
Example for the soul who
Would one day sit beside
Him, sharing my heart even
As He remained First, forever
My source of Security,
Peace, and Joy.
