Rest Cuddles Me

Father, I sense You within 

and I take slow awe-inspiring steps

 to give in to its leading

 so that I look 

into Your eyes of love so breathtaking.  

Oh how I love You!  

I stop my world,

 for music has me; 

Your love is music to the soul.  

May my heart sing back to You tonight 

with a sound that tells You 

there is no other place I would rather be.  

Oh hear my heart 

and swallow the delicious flavors 

of my wishes

 that exposes my glad heart.  

I have ran and played today 

and You have enjoyed my laughter.  

I have joined with others 

whom You hold as treasures,

 and giggled as I promise

 I will be on my best behavior 

if I get to stay.  

Happily You say ‘yes’ to my want.  

What is of more value than love?

 How could anything be enjoyed 

outside this untouchable power 

that is so secure with itself

 that it waits with knowing the outcome. 

What could separate 

Your arms from embracing

 those You love?  

Nothing, my days reveal..!

Rest cuddles me

 as watchful eyes

 assign the air

 to carry the sounds of my response

 to this days gifts,

 back to Your ears

 for mutual appreciation. 

And love closes my thoughts, 

my eyes, 

my day,

 with full heart;

 for I walked love to the door of His bride.
