I Love The Way You Come.

I love the way you come.
You understand the longing of my heart
and yours beats the same.

The anticipated moment
of side by side
where the longings are expressed
and the little thoughts
are given open arms of warmth
and embraced
to fullness
that both the speaker and hearer
are gently refreshed.

You prayed.
The issues seemed large.
And I soaked.
I didn't have much to say.
You gave and I,
heard every word
of understanding
as if led beside still waters
and green pastures.

You lingered.
Just a moment longer
to see something
not before given much audience.
It was important to me.
And you made it important to you.

I have missed something lately.
Things had changed.
I had felt guilty.
But you reminded me of where I'd been
and where I need to get back to again.

People are important.
And yes, it takes time.
But whatever it is I thought
so important before diminished
in your example to me.

Thank you dear friend.
Your sacrifice was noticed
and my life changed.
