A Distant Love Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

My days were humdrum and going nowhere.
I found you online looking friendly and fine
seeing you had such a great smile, even hair.
I longed for a letter and I'd read every line.

I read about your family and relationships,
about friends, work, camping and outdoors,
places you'd been to taking so many trips,
now stuck in a place with too many horrors.

Finding you was one of God's miracles true,
and find that you are committed to Him,
wanting only to please Him and always do
His teachings, His Spirit filling to the brim.

We know that only distance keeps us apart
but we know in our knowing you'll come.
His plan is unfolding we know only a part
and one day a couple we will become.

You have made me laugh, sometimes cry,
but our conversations have been many.
We find joy in each other not asking why,
only Jesusbound our hearts. We're ready.

We ask ourselves how long Lord to wait
before we're married? before we're one?
It is You Lord we want, yet we anticipate
a time together of laughter, love and fun.

Terry let your heart not be weary in doing
for tomorrow there is a future together.
As we work let us walk with Him guiding
and let our love float us like a feather.
