I've travelled many trails upon the land,
and drawn so many castles in the sand,
Yes wished for more then I truly deserved,
So not at all surprised by all so untoward.

For many times I thought i was defined,
With all the wisdom given so refined,
To learn that what i think is less then true,
Until that day just now when I met you.

Of course i had to wonder what to think
Since after all each hope was sure to sink,
To me a fear which i determined to destroy,
Much rather that then just another toy.

Yet you indeed surprised me in your hope,
With every match i struck you'd fully cope,
Inspite of venom from my mouth did spit,
As with each word i spoke you took the hit.

However, after fear inside me did subside,
And after all the whirlwind i did ride,
You showed me that i could trust you this way,
To help me calm and make my heart to stay.

So here we are embarking on this trail,
Or on the oceans full winded billows sail,
Toward an unknown future for a time,
Which prompted me to quickly write this rhyme.

I'm calm and patient not demanding much,
Since in control destroying some as such,
Instead I'll trust my God whom guides me true,
since He decided I should meet with you.

However in this i can so this thing,
its easy and a travel without sting,
To help me stronger still with passing day,
For every hopeful thought along the way.

So thank you for the way that you just are,
Another bright lit guidance as my star,
Toward what will tomorrow be to see,
Allowing all I have to remain free.
