A Very Different Love Poem

( I thought about the man God gave me and I have not adequate words,

I thought about the Father Who gave His only Son and I am  speechless)

 

When I behold the  Master, as He paints a child in the womb,
it leaves me breathless, more then any Rembrandt or Monet;
and a sparrow’s sweet song that pierces my darkest nights,
more genius than a Mozart, even Salieri would have to say.

Amazed at what little I know about the intricate human eye,
it must of left Einstein in wonder like a child Christmas morn;
until he lifted his gaze higher, past the moon and the stars,
making himself look even smaller  than when  first born.

The faithfulness of the man God placed beside me at the altar,

more than Spring itself,  and the lilacs after each winter  clears;
for I've watched love story after love story across silver screen,
none holds a candle to ours,  closer we get to the golden year.


With few words, as I wake to snowflakes on any December 25th,
speechless at a Bethlehem manger,  like no other baby in it laid,

pondering the Child, Who perfected the heart formed from dust,

bleeding from it on a tree that His  own Divine hands  made.

    Really good and different. Not something I was expecting to read but I'm glad you entered it! My favourite stanza has to be the second last one. I love Lilacs haha. (maybe that's why I'm not sure). I really like this because it is so different. You use such a flow of words and vocabulary that make it even better. Excellent! Thanks for entering and Good luck!

    Great job! Thinking of God giving up His Son for us does leave you speechles, if he can do that then he can pick the right mate for us!
