Love and Patience

lonelyraccoon

I have never been one

For practicing patience

 

And loving you has revealed

To me

That it is worth the wait

 

It took eight years

To be yours

 

And if I knew the love

We would someday share

I think I could wait

Another eight years

If it meant by the end

I would be yours for the rest of time

 

You have taught me

That I am far more capable

Than I ever thought possible

 

You have taught me love

And patience

Both very beautiful things

 

Love does not have to hurt

It does not have to take away my voice

It does not have to use me until

I have nothing left to give


No, love is supposed to

Give me a voice

And fill me with more love

Than I ever thought could fit

Inside my heart

  • Comment from author about the poem: It has been a few years since I have posted on here, in that time I have been struggling with my confidence in my craft. But thanks to my wonderful husband, I gathered up enough courage to share on this platform again. Loving him and being loved by him has opened my eyes to a world I never thought possible. I have moved halfway across the country and have been writing plenty of poems that I am looking forward to sharing on here! This poem is just one glimpse into the healing his love has provided me!
