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.
