Good for the SOUL!

My Presence is Warm and comforting
Like homemade vegetable and beef soup in the middle of December

My essence is sweet and lingering
Like fresh butter biscuits straight from the oven with honey dripping

My Words are deep and heavy
Like that good cast iron pan that produces the greatest eggs and pancakes
(You were not sure of that was pepper or a pan flake but you ate it any way lol)

I Digress

Now back to the realness

Goodness

My intelligence is expected yet surprising
Like the first bite on Thanksgiving perceived to be better today than it was on Sunday
But really it’s the same

My love is time-honored and timeless
Like that recipe your momma uses but you have never seen actually written
Just remembered, experienced, and passed down

I am Green tea,

Vitamin C,

hot soup,

humidifier,

The thick blanket because you are cold

The cool fan because all of sudden you are hot

I am your favorite spot

I am the secret spice of your life and

You act you do not know that, I am simply

Good for your Soul

Better

I just want to see you do better


I am not angry

I do not blame you

I do not deny my love for you


I just want to see you do better


I do not hold grudges

I have no plans for revenge

I do not judge you


I just want to see you do better


I do not doubt you

I do not wish you were different

I wish things were different


I just want to see you do better


I do not ask God questions anymore

I do not cry anymore

I am not ashamed of you or the situation


I just want to see you do better


I will not always understand your way of thinking

I will not always like what you do

I will not always like you, however,


I just want to see you do better


With all of that said,

I forgive you

I promise to be there

I promise to love you through it all because


I just want to see you do better!

Simply

I cried for Him
Begged to be in his presence
To lay my head on chest and just weep
let it all go in his arms
Wanted Him to rock me back to safety
Wanted Him to be near, close, in and by
apart of me I wanted Him to be
I wished, wanted, desired and dreamed
Not realizing He was already there
He heard my inner despair and heard my soul cry
He spoke to me
Immersed me in his words
each one piercing me like sewing needles
and He was the tailor of my being
binding the new fabric to old
to mend the holes in my soul left by the previous suitors
He consumed me
Eased my mind
Began to reveal the answer to the riddle of ME
He picked me up
asking nothing in return
because HE

Simply LOVES ME!!
