Footsteps

by Rhonda Maneki

No matter where You walk within life,
I will follow in Your footsteps,
I will wear Your shoes to know you more,
to see you clearer, though miles of this adventure.
No matter where You go, I will wear Your skin,
I feel Your emotions, share the joys and
burdens of life equally...

I have vowed to share everything,
Thats what I'm here for,
this is what you and I do so well.
I'm Your partner, Your mate, your wife,
I'm Your best friend as you are mine.

You are never apart from me..
I'm beside You always,
I carry You,
As you carry me within your love.

When our journey is at peace
we walk beside each other.
in total comfort.
Then again, nothing that is ever
really difficult, with you beside me.
There is nothing ever so difficult we can't
face together, and we do.

No matter where You go
I'm with You...
I'm the caress of wind against Your skin,
the song of a bird in the garden at dawn,
I'm a whisper, You thought You just heard,
against your ear, the thought that just passed
within your mind, I''m the hug around Your heart,
The comfort of Your soul, I'm the steady hand
You hold..
I'm always here..

You're always here for me - do you see why I'm in awe of you?

I will follow You,
though life,
I will walk with You,
you're never alone,
I will be beside You,
I will walk before You,
one step behind You,
I will lay down with You..
To Hold You tight

Oh, there is comfort here,
In these rocking chairs,
Your hair tinted with white,
My hair still long, silver in the night.
Your hand in mine, as the universe goes by
we sit and talk, as you make love to me, as you always do,
with Your beautiful thoughts, your touch..
I will still tremble, I will always shed
these tears of utter love, for you.

Life remains new again, even in the late Autumn of our lives,
nothing is the same, it grows, so expansive,
Our hearts are so full, our lives so enriched,
its magical, so tender the age,
Life with you is heavens gift.

And You walk with me,
One step behind me,
One step before me,
beside me,
You're wearing my skin,
my shoes are Yours,
Within my footsteps,
together upon this
journey we are
...One...

This needs to be handwritten on cream linen paper, sprinkled with some outrageously expensive perfume and slipped inside a beribboned envelope and left on his pillow...to be saved and re-read time and again...to warm his soul when the world outside is cold. he is fortunate to have such a talented love...and you are blessed to have his love ;).

Really quite moving and beautiful. Could be vows or renewal vows. Thank you!
