They Have What We All Want

She shall follow after her lover Hosea 2:7

If you should ever be so lucky to have my sisters path touch yours you will not be the same. Her level of passion and compassion have never been surpassed by anything I have seen. She is the type of person that when she enters a room all eyes fall upon her. And when she leaves there is a hole. I have watched people follow her from room to room. They just want to be around her.

People need her laughter and her warmth. Like Jesus gathering the masses she is always in the center. I marvel at this because she wears it so well. She doesn't seek it but like a big magnet people come to her.

Is it any wonder that she would have a marriage that is a light. Her and Bruce have been married over 40 years and she is just 59 years young. He was on the road crew for the city clean up after a tornado visited our town. As she glanced out the window and saw this handsome boy that was it.

I watched them a couple of weeks ago as they were back for a wedding. They can barely breath without the other standing by. And when they are apart they have a language all their own in a crowded room. It took a tornado to bring them together and it will take death to separate them.

They have always been my example of a successful marriage. Marriage should be that permanent, intimate bond that will never separate. I still believe that you can have complete satisfaction in another's arms. Just as my sister continues to light the way and be an example of a loving marriage wrapped in each others arms I hope for the same.

I've been searching all over
turned the world upside down
wondering if I'd ever
find that one to stay around.

In a quiet moment
you cam into my life
to love me forever.
To be my wife.

So I'm holding out my hand
I'm dreaming of the day
you will walk beside this man.
You won't ever go away.

I've written us a story
that ends in happiness.
And made a promise
to my heart
I won't take any less.

You are my soul mate in the darkness.
My inspiration on wings.
With you standing by me girl
I can do anything.


The dreams I hold
down deep inside
are all because of you
there is no one out there
that can do
the things you do.

I will kiss away the pain.
Laugh away the rain.
Hold you every day.
I won't ever go away.

Our love will be a witness
for all the world to see
And they will watch
with jealous eyes
and want the love
between you and me.

So I'm holding out my hand...
