I wrote this for my best friend Jennifer for Christmas

I think of how we met,
who we were,
where we were,
all our feeble attempts
to make love happen,
all our wasted efforts
to make love stay,
and I stand in awe
of a God who knew us
before time began,
and yet,
as He walked among the stars,
He smiled,
because He knew,
even then,
we would find Him
in each others hearts
and we would finally realize
we were loved already.
