Adoration
by Rosemary Williams
I sent a text to my love today
Showing my adoration
And after a while I noticed my phone
Had sent me a notification
An unopened text in reply to mine!
I opened it up. My heart stalled the first line.
‘I am overwhelmed’, he said and his health sprang to mind,
A growing concern with the age and the grind
But thereafter I read, with growing deep love,
The words that he wrote, a text treasure trove.
How he was overwhelmed…by love, appreciation!
How I stood by him through the hard duration.
How I showed him love and put up with his flaws.
And lived this hard way with difficult “in-laws”.
How he loved me in a way that words don’t work.
How he was grateful for companionship in this lifework.
“You are my lady”, he ended, and left a red heart.
And music began to pour through my heart.
What elegance is love! What golden glowed hall
Where something so precious, so more than us all
Fills up our whole space with the perfumed impression
That all will be well. The best anti-depression.
A two-way connection that doesn’t depart.
A highway of energy from heart to heart.
And I was overwhelmed his loving gesture
Cuz he runs this whole operation.
And I wondered – How can he love me so much
When I only show him adoration!
