He’s always surprising me…
I walked downstairs yesterday morn to discover a delicate floral arrangement and our wedding program on display. There was a sweet anniversary card celebrating our 5th year together. But by far, my favorite gift was a poem my husband reprinted for me.
Tim wrote this poem when we were dating. For fifteen months we walked or better yet crawled to the altar in purity. We didn’t compromise sexually and it wasn’t easy because the spark between us was INTENSE.
During that time we were forced to learn to communicate in other ways –nonphysical ways–and we had to use words to tell each other how we felt.
This is what came out of my husband. He’s not a literary beatnik kind of guy, but love made a poet out of him.
Inspiration
Written 3-26-2007 – Reprinted 4-5-2013 by: Tim Keller
Inspiration is a word
That means so many things,
its true
It clearly describes the way I feel
When I’m spending time with you
You bring me emotion, joy and passion
I’ve never smiled like this before
I can’t imagine life without you
I desire you daily more and more
From God inspiration is holy influence
Exerted on the mind and soul
From you it is like morning coffee
Invigorating, consuming, feeling whole
I feel alive when were together
Your smiles, your kisses, your joys your fears
I long for the days and nights together
Sharing breath for all our years
Our hearts have been so knit together
I look forward to all that life will be
It’s overwhelming when I am with you
Like God himself made you for me
Is it any wonder why I am so in love with this man?
–Samantha
