My husband’s birthday was yesterday and since we don’t exchange gifts, I wrote him this poem. Its based on a phrase he said to me a few weeks back.
We were talking about our genetic incompatibility and I was of course crying. He took my face in his hand and told me despite everything we would have to face, he still wouldn’t want to walk this road with anyone else but me. Did your heart just melt? Mine still does every time I think about that moment. We weren’t always in such a good place. I’m thanking God today that we are now.
So here it is. Hope you enjoy it.
Dear Kevin,
The way we came to be is laughable
Sometimes its hard to believe its true
But I wouldn’t want to walk this road with anyone else but you.
The distrust and hate seemed so unforgivable
It’s because of Christ alone we made it through
And I wouldn’t want to walk this road with anyone else but you.
Sweet times washed over us.
Our beautiful daughter and now a son too!!
I wouldn’t want to walk this road with anyone else but you.
Then the devastating news came.
Tears were abundant and words were few.
I still wouldn’t want to walk this road with anyone else but you.
Prayers went up, His grace fell.
With much support we felt a little less blue.
I wouldn’t want to walk this road with anyone else but you.
In a tender moment you held my face
And with these words my love for you grew
“I wouldn’t want to walk this road with anyone else but you.”
God’s still good, worthy of praise
That’s the one thing we always knew
Jesus, we wouldn’t want to walk this road together without You!
Love you more each day,
Sam

Happy Belated Birthday Kevin and Sam you always know what to say, God gave Mr G to the right parents, the way you support each other is just wonderful. Love you all
We love you too Aunt Jeanette!!
so beautiful and inspirational….I too have a husband that I love more than life itself and I love knowing others share that love with each other. These days people take it so for granted. Having a partner in life that you can walk down the good and bad roads with is just one of God’s wonderful gifts to us, and though we have to commit and work hard at it, I wouldn’t trade the love we share and the commitment we have together for any amount of money or tangible treasures. I love that you and Kevin have that bond too.
Thanks Christy! It’s good to know others share those same feelings as well! Beautifully put, friend! 🙂
You’re quite the poet! I love your relationship 🙂
Thanks friend!! 🙂
