My Prescription

For me you are that prescription that I needed filled 34 1/2 years ago 

My heart was shattered in 1 million pieces. My life had come undone.

My dreams were trying to die

My confidence was missing

But God had written up a prescription for me

Things that would mend my broken heart and give me my best life ever

I desperately needed your peace to calm my troubled soul 

Your consistency to help build my trust 

You’re unselfish ways of letting me be just be myself 

You’re steady and unwavering

Presence 

Your love for our Savior Jesus Christ 

Your strength that would help me build back my own 

The way you cherished  me like I’d never been cherished before 

The way you looked at me, even on our very first date,like I was the only woman in the world 

The way you touched me  and made me feel so desired

Your smile was always there to reassure 

You’re confidence made me feel secure 

Your ability to listen and truly hear me 

Judgment free 

The way you saw my weaknesses as strengths

The way you could look at me across the room and make me feel so beautiful 

…. And to this day

You are my rock, unwavering and always full of faith 

Your humbleness that truly inspires me

Your kindness to everyone

With no strings attached

Your ability to never give up on anyone no matter what they’ve done 

You’re firm, strong presence

When I feel like a piece of straw blowing in the wind 

Your depth and ability to give so much of yourself even when it’s not convenient 

Some of what you may see as weaknesses in yourself have become main ingredients in this prescription for my heart 

through the years I have seen how important all of these things were for me to live the life I’ve lived with you and continue to live with you

Free of strive 

Free of arguments

Free of name calling

Free of any regrets

***

Full of love and respect

Full of passion

Full of connection

Full of desire

Full of admiration for each other

Full of gratefulness for the love we share

When I look at you, sweetheart, I see how much God really loves me

He wrote the prescription and he filled it for me in the form of YOU

My forever soulmate

My best friend

My confidant

My Yahtzee companion

My calm to the storm

My inspiration to be a better person

My salve for the wounds from life’s  fiery darts

My safe place inside your arms

My hope in times of hopelessness

To this day, I’ve never ran out of refills on this prescription. 

Never had to wait on a refill

Never once wondered if I had the right prescription

And today…..

You still have the ability to make me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, the most desired woman in the world and the most cherished woman in the world

I love the secrets we share that no one else will ever know

The depth of our love and passion that no one will ever see

The sweet words you whisper in my ear that no one will ever hear

It’s a beautiful life. It’s a healthy life.

And I look forward to continuing it with my one and only true love!
