Love Poem: Sometimes

Sometimes

Sometimes words fail me
I am not perfect and have feet of clay
But past all this I hope you have come to see
That I care deeply and for us, I pray

Sometimes I don’t know how to express my emotions
It all rolls from my tongue in a clutter of confusion
Often I flee to set my burdens free at the feet of the oceans
Trying to find and fit the puzzle pieces of my confused thoughts as a final conclusion

Failing don’t sit easy with me
Sometimes I have to be strong, no matter how hard or steep the hill
Mostly I ignore and steer away and pray to Thee
Tomorrow I know the sun will rise and bring goodwill

When that day arrive
My wish is for us to have withered the storms
That together we can be a union and thrive
Side by side we can build and create our own platforms

These past weeks we had our ups and downs
It has brought laughter and sadness, joy and pain
I hope you recognize that our relationship to me is not silly playgrounds
Hopefully we have grown, get to know each other and that all was not in vain

Sometimes I wish for things to change oh so soon
Sometimes I close my eyes and wish all our worries would disappear
Mostly our times have not been one happy honeymoon
Somehow I do feel we have come closer, I hope you hear
