I wanted …

I wanted to write you a love song but

God has already written one for you,

 listen to the birds outside, the wind rushing by,

the suns sizzle, the rain in it’s awesome splash,

 the crisp of the cold winter’s night, the moons glowing presence,

 the stars dancing, the stillness of the night,

 the grass in it’s green-ness,

 the flower sings it’s colorful verses of who your are to him,

 the river’s and streams lift their voice

to tell you how endless his love flows 

I wanted to hold your hand

give you a hug through your pain

 smooth the hurt and assured you either way, you’d be alright

but God already had his hand there

And there was no room for mine, the job was bigger than me.

I wanted to come sit and talk to you a while,

 listen to your problems and solutions

 hear about your battles and wars

but God had those battles and wars won before

he allowed them to come your way.

It was up to you JUST LET IT GO!

I came to tell you,“LET IT GO.”

I wanted to take a long walk with you,

 shoot the breeze about life and all its beauty

 but God had occupied  every position left, right, front and back

  there was no where for me to stand.

I watched from afar and my soul was blessed.

I wanted to dance with you

but before going forth I ask God’s permission

He granted me full rights,

 he said, “it’s okay it was my turn”

 he said, “he has perfected you through the dance”

 he wanted you to understand who you are so you could know me

So, here I am -can I have this dance?

I want to dance this dance with you- just you.
