Faith Poem

Devotion: it is not an emotion; it is giving something from yourself to the ones you love each day. When I met my wife, I was just 15 years of age. I had all my life in front of me and never realized how fast it would slip away. Now I am 48 years of age with more life behind me than in front of me to live. I now realize how important each day is. I truly pray for all who are in love that you realize how fast life will move, realize what you put off until tomorrow could be lost in the past.

Time, If I Had

Time, if I had all the time in the world I would have absolutely nothing.
It is not time itself that makes your life worth something.

In the time that I have, I will be kinder, gentler, and more giving.
I will take advantage of all the time I have to show more joy; I will be living.

I will take the time that I have to listen more intently.
I will respond and speak more wisely and more softly.

In the time that I have I will share it with those whom I love,
Because I have no idea how much time I have; that is up to God above.

In the time that I have I will devote myself to God through Christ.
I will respect the word of God because without him I have no life.

In the time that I have I will love and honor my wife in all that I do.
I do this out of love, a devoted and never ending love for you.

In the time that I have I will share a passion for a blessed and positive life.
I will make the time to share my love with my one greatest blessing, my beautiful wife.

In the time that we have together I will lift you up in spirit. and to God I will pray
That you have health, kindness, and love as part of your blessing each and every day.

Time is no longer my friend, and I know that is true.
My wife, that is why I want to devote all my time to loving you.

This poem speaks to to me, I've lost my wife she wants a divorce and I'm doing my best to earn a second chance.
This poem says everything I want to say to my wife. I don't know when I'll have no choice but to leave the house and whether I leave the house or get the chance, what I do know is that I need my time close to my love to live and only to live as this poem says.....
Until my time ends, I will love her in this life and the next.
