Dear Boaz,
"You and I"
My hand is lonely for your clasping, dear;
My ear is tired waiting for your call.
I want your strength to help, your laugh to cheer;
Heart, soul, senses need you, one and all.
I droop without your full frank sympathy;
We ought to be together-you and I;
We want each other so, to comprehend
The dream, the hope, things planned or seen, or wrought.
Companion, comforter and guide and friend,
My hand is lonely for your clasping, dear;
My ear is tired waiting for your call.
I want your strength to help, your laugh to cheer;
Heart, soul, senses need you, one and all.
I droop without your full frank sympathy;
We ought to be together-you and I;
We want each other so, to comprehend
The dream, the hope, things planned or seen, or wrought.
Companion, comforter and guide and friend,
As much as love asks love, does thought ask thought.
Life is so short, so fast the lone hours fly,
We ought to be together, you and I.
Life is so short, so fast the lone hours fly,
We ought to be together, you and I.
-Henry Alford
Anticipation of things to come, of the future ahead keeps me hopeful. I can't wait to spend my forever here and now with you, eager to experience a life together filled with love and laughter. Eager to have someone who will always have my back even during the rough times. And they will come. There will always be foxes lurking around. But most of all eager to have someone I can love, grow in, serve and glorify the Lord Jesus with for as long as I'm breathing.
It's difficult to be patient. But I hope you are because I'm doing my best to be. As you wait, I wait too. It will be well worth it.
Ruth
