Good Morning. I see and love you.
Over a year of dating you has seemed like 5 or maybe 10
And every day with you I've hoped never ends
For plenty more and plenty more will soon come our way
And I'll get to share with you, the memory of a day
I have seen you in many lights
In many moons, in many nights
I have seen you when you're tired or stressed
When it seems impossible to give your best
I have seen you when you fear and shake
When you sleep
When you are awake
I have seen you when you council
I have seen you stay awake until
Until all tension has been discussed
And God's grace overflows on us
I have seen you when there are pressures high
Stretching you by and by
I have seen you solve the puzzle
Before I can once, you do double
And so trained are you in your thinking
I've seen you apply wisdom as if wisdom you were drinking
I've seen you love and be loved
Graced by God above
I've seen you smile and deeply frown
I've seen the sadness way deep down
I've seen your joy and your tears
I haven't seen all your years
Yet all the next ones I'll be near
For I've seen you become to me so dear
I've seen you bake, cook, and clean
These bonuses upon my dream
For how could every and all these things
Be true of one person named Christine
What I have not seen are the angel wings
I'm sure are there for so it seems
Your kind soul in constant reverence
True obedience and penance
Beautiful pointing to God
And if angels could sin without being frauds
Then I'd be more convinced
Because dating you has been filled with hints
That God is in and working through you
Consistently because he has wooed you
So maybe your not an αγγελος
But your character is truly καλος
I've seen your regret and accomplishment
I've seen your grief as you repent
I've seen your creativity and your art
Your esthetic taste married to your head so smart
I've seen your wounds and your scars
I've seen you gaze upon the stars
I've seen you gaze upon the moon
The one that is setting soon
I have seen you read and write
And sometimes with your siblings fight
But usually in petty things
Without raised voices or fist swings
I have seen you laugh at irony
Or stumble upon your own acrimony
I have seen you joke and tease and flirt
Don't worry, it never hurts
(As long as the flirting is with me. Don't be distracted by these parentheses)
I have seen your allergies as you get sick
I have seen you pass the time as the clock goes tick
I have seen you drive and be driven
Gosh, I've seen the specifics of your livin'
I've seen what I make of this
That I have chosen you, a world of bliss
And at the altar I won't miss
As I remind you of our memories with our first kiss
I've seen you and that alone
Beckons me to call you flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone
I have seen you engaged to me
And I wait to see you in our matrimony
Good morning Christine
I love you!
