together


oh my heart
at the thought

of hand on an S-10 handle
and the same hand on Amli's 

of dinner w/ jazz and dancing after
and of that post-dinner parking lot protector

of laughter and joy unfathomable
of so much darkness when time presents to ponder

of phone call in closet
and parting there after

of fear and faith
of so many set backs
amidst steps forward

of death
of grace

so many times
You in my place

and in every mile
in every single breath

what a gift to be able to say

all this while
I've been holding
The Greatest Treasure
all the same



"I've got a Name I call. 
I've got a place that I can go."

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, 
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 
Jeremiah 29💗11
