Sunbow

I came out of work today, not five minutes ago and we were having sun showers. Beautiful, amazing sunshowers. Then, as I looked up, I saw a rainbow--a double rainbow, nearly complete! And as I drove home, one end of the rainbow was right over my apartment complex. So beautiful, so unique, so precious, so rare. It's been years since I've seen a rainbow, and I don't remember the last time I saw a sunbow. And if I had left work five minutes later I would have missed the whole thing.

If that's not a blessing, I don't know what is. And I'm going to take every blessing I can get.

Just...amazing, totally amazing. Just...wow.

Sanctuary

when you come home
at the end of the day
and the weight of the world is on your shoulders
come to me
I’ll be here
when the daily humdrums and cares,
the tiny pinprick problems
grow too heavy
come to me
I’ll be there
don’t be afraid
to show me that you’re weak
don’t feel that you must always be strong
I lean on your for so much
my love
sometimes, it’s fair
for you to lean on me
tell me your troubles
I will listen
although I may not be able to solve them for you
tell me your fears
I will hold you
put my arms around you
cradle you against my heart
and give you my love
come to me
I’ll be here
when fate causes you frustration
when people cause you headaches
when all the world seems against you
come to me
I’ll be here
my love
