Happy Ever After
Posted on Oct 21, 2009 | 9 comments
Someday we’ll stand beside the Crystal Sea,
He and I,
The man I loved for fifteen years,
Married ten.
And we will marvel at all,
That now,
We did not know.
I wonder if our hair will be silver,
Over there?
Or our hands, clasped tight, together
Lined and wrinkled?
A monument chiseled
By the sands of time
And gilded gold
By One who blessed the years
Of laying hard-won treasures
Up above?
Perhaps when we bend down
To find the skipping rock
And gather up fists full
Of stones to throw
We’ll find that they are diamonds…
Heaven’s shores redeeming,
Rippling iridescent,
Letting us experience
Wholeness from the broken of below.
Someday.
And if these earthly waters
Are so sweet and healing
To us now
When they are cursed,
Waiting for their deliverance to come…
Beckoning with wave, and wave
And wave again
From watery hands…
How much grander
Will they ripple, sparkle, saturate
When all is new?
Ah, little prisms…
Here, now there,
We catch a little glimpse
And so believe
In Happy
Ever After
And
The Crystal Sea.

Beautiful words, beautiful pictures, beautiful music…..I worked really hard to keep the tears from spilling out of my big brown eyes (as mom use to say.) Your vintage camper…..you found one?!

Love everything about this post…the poem, the camper, the scenery, the window shopping, the blue shoes, the love, the hat! Thanks for sharing a bit about your weekend – missed you at church on Sunday but looks like you made up for it otherwise.
Ahh, I can’t speak what my heart feels after reading this post. I just am overwhelmed by the presence of the Creator.
I love the pictures with the camper. So glad you got a bit of time away. Do you ever try to think, ok, I am going to memorize this memory so I’ll never forget? Your pictures will do that for you!
