Someday

Someday
A man will stand behind me
Put his arms around me
And tell me that he loves me
And I will lean back and smile
And remember
That it doesn't have to be hard
It doesn't have to be an uphill climb
It doesn't have to be perfect
I don't always have to be afraid
Or in charge
I can just lean back and rest
And know the only thing expected of me
Is to be there
And open to his arms

Someday
I'll realize
That love is not about
Who you are
Or what you do
Or what you might do

Someday I'll realize that
Love is not about tomorrow
It is about today
And today
I lean back
I rest in his arms
I hear his heartbeat
Fully human
Fully Divine
And completely  totally
Body Blood Soul Divinity
Mine

Someday is today
And the ring He gave me
Is a rainbow so big
It encircles the entire world

I can love you because He loved me first.

Never quite turns out as you expect it to...

Sitting on the steps
Wind blowing through my hair
I remember when
I didn't have a care
Just sitting on the steps
With my mind open wide
Waiting for real life to happen
Waiting on the slide
Touch it with my hand
Oh! Too hot to handle!
Yet shiny silver so seduces
Burns my backside like a candle
Should have stayed up high
Should have stepped back down
But instead I took the leap of faith
And went flying into the ground.
