I'm ready now to stay open
The nail has been driven
Through my palm
It will never close tightly again
Around the wrists of those I love
I am enough
Just giving love
And watching what unfolds
In the only way it can
What made me think
I knew what was best for myself?
I laugh at the thought
God has always provided enough for me
Today is not different
Love rules eternal
Yesterday
Today
And forever

Coincidence
Events coinciding
Not entirely randomly
Good things happening
Hearts opening
Right place at the right time
The trick to peace
Is knowing
Not forcing
It's always been
How it should be

I'm not good at protecting my heart
I love like the sunshine
Strong, brightly, and forever
I'm not good at building a boat
That floats the ocean's currents,
And carries us into the sunset
But I can light your life and warm your heart
Until you retreat to the shade

And when I feel that sun upon MY skin
I shed all my layers
And bask until it gets too hot
And makes me sleepy
And colors me beautifully

Sometimes I get burned
Love weathers my skin
Leaving freckles
For the next admirer
