Forever Engaged

 

I’d like to live in engagement;

Engaged in your smile,

Engaged in your embrace,

Engaged with the twinkle in your eye,

Engaged with the thoughts

that clutter your mind.

 

Permanently engaged with you,

my only gentleman caller…

Holding on to the line

and never letting go;

as every morning

I’m blessed with your voice in my ear,

As we choose to continue our call

and be unavailable to anyone else.

 

The ring,

The answer:

Forever engaged.

Eternally choosing each other

Every single day.

Thanks so much for your encouraging comment Bee.
You made me laugh with your question though ;-)
I've never had the privilege of experiencing "true love" as I have heard it referred to.
All my 'love' stuff is written purely from my overactive imagination. Thankfully that is the one thing that has helped me build an idea of the Love written about in the Bible, I'd have no comprehension of love in the unconditional format otherwise.
Thanks for the laugh.
Stay fabulous! $

Hi, Shannan. Mind you the course of true love never runs smooth as we are all so imperfect! I'm sure God has work for you with your insights and loving nature, while you long for that special person, and maybe he is preparing your character for the work of such an 'engagment'!
On another line, I was taken with the whole use you make of the word 'engaged' as it is still something I long for (and pray for) in the relationship I have with my mother-in-law whom I care for, and she is ever pleasant and appreciative, but somehow that 'engagement' of understanding is missing, and I miss it so.

Hi Rhiannon, thank-you too for your constant encouragement and upliftment in faith, I literally have no idea what God is up to, but I am truly flattered at your kind description of my nature, wow! In response, I’m not sure He is, I think God knows that I have never encountered unconditional love in any human relationship form in my life, so if I saw it for real I’d probably run away from it as fast as I could and stay far far away because it would petrify me ;-) I also grew up so differently from all the girls around me who were dreaming dresses and weddings and colour-schemes… yeah, I’m just different, some may say ‘odd’… but God’s ok with that :) ha ha, not sure a man could be!

Heh heh, now this I can relate to, the course of family relationships never run smooth ;-) Wow, so awesome to be appreciated, what a blessing! I’m bleak at the moment with regards to feeling completely unappreciated, so rather jealous of your position… not to bring it down though, I completely understand what it is like to be around people who aren’t engaged with Spirit and the understanding of the purpose of life being ‘love’ in the deepest sense amongst all – but the Bible tells us this is so and that the ‘blind’ can’t see.

If I may – I pray that your prayers are answered in a glorious way and that your contentedly precious mother-in-law may move from the black and white knowing to the glory of insightfully seeing life in all its radiance of colour, including the radiance of love and soul from her daughter-in-law. HUGS to you both $
