Six Amazing Years
Today Hope and I celebrate 6 years of marriage!
I am so thankful to God for my wife, and to celebrate the 6 years of God’s goodness to me in and through my wife, I’ve written a poem of sixes… six words, six lines, six paragraphs…
To you my wife I write
My heart, my flesh, my light
Of six years since the night
That my eyes drank in sight
Of you, veiled preciously in white
The one who’d become my wife.
Now six years it has been
Since love’s covenant would forever mend
Our two hearts and lives in
Unity which only Divinity could bend
Two lives together, not women, men
But as husband and his wife.
That One who bound us brought
Us from our home and taught
Us patience as we have fought
Ourselves, cultures, enemies, sin, and sought
To refine us as gold, not
Harm this husband and his wife.
His grace has giv’n us three
Most beautiful children, ones that we
Don’t deserve, but my, to see
You be their mother, and me
So humbled to think this free
Gift is mine, my amazing wife.
And looking forward I see still
Christ’s grace of more years filled
Up with love and life until
All life’s work is then fulfilled
And my love for you still
Burning bright, my worship-inspiring wife.
I can scarcely believe that now
Six years have passed, and how
Much has happened, Christ’s grace allows
all this!? That I should somehow
Have you, Hope, always and now
My beautiful, Godly, humble, incomparable wife.
That was really lovely Adam! So beautiful. Congratulations to you both. It is a blessing to have witnessed a few of these wonderful six years. Praise God for the beauty of it! Love you both so much!
