Renewal, Refreshment, Reiteration


These are thoughts i expressed long ago. They are even more deeply felt now.


My place....at Your feet.
Kneeling, lying, waiting...
A place few understand,
Fewer desire.
I cannot resist.

My purpose....serving You.
Offering, welcoming, suffering...
A purpose few understand,
Fewer desire.
I cannot resist.

My pride....Your praise.
Positive, encouraging, motivating...
A pride few understand,
Fewer desire.
I cannot resist.

My joy.....Your pleasure.
Physical, mental, emotional...
A joy few understand,
Fewer desire.
I cannot resist.

My yearning....Your love.
Words, actions, acceptance...
A yearning few understand,
Fewer desire.
I cannot resist.

My deepest need....Your happiness...
With or without me.
A need few understand,
Maybe even You.
I cannot need less.

You expressed your needs and wants very well. I hope he understands.

He does.

It was originally written several years ago during a time of tumultuous emotions, many of which He didn't understand, but which He was quite understanding of me having to go through them.

Now, He understands far more than He ever did, and *i* have even gained quite a bit of understanding myself, and so...this was more a reminder, a smile-maker, a renewal.

i am so incredibly lucky.
