"Quick! Catch all the little foxes before they ruin the vineyard of your love, for the grapevines are all in blossom."
Song of Songs 2:15
Our wedding anniversary was about a week ago. I am still very excited that we have made two years in marriage - Yaaaay :-) I took sometime out to pray cause my heart was a bit heavy and I realised the bu foxes that were trying to disturb our vineyard. Thankfully, I have started chasing them nga bukyali. It is kinda hard to explain but I have tried and written about it below. For the first time ever, the husband is featuring on the blog in person!!! (He commented after I showed him my writing and I decided to include it :-)
I pray that God will help you to see the things that could ruin your wonderful relationships so that you can face them and sort them and your love can blossom. Sometimes they can be really small things like sand in shoes...
Grace's Jazz:
You never have
The edges are too straight
The height is not right
You don't fit in that box
Or even in the other boxes that I read about on facebook
Or in romantic novels
Or in magazines or newspapers
No
You don't fit there either
Why do I keep forgetting this?
I guess maybe it's because I just find myself comparing you to what I have known
Or what I have come to expect
My extrapolations of my previous experiences
Or even those of my friends
Are projected onto you my love
I know that when you look at me
You see no cardboard
You see me
Strong and weak
Beautiful and ugly
You see me
I am sorry
For not stripping the cardboard
And seeing you for who you are
You
My love and the desire of my heart
The husband's reply:
I am happy that I do not fit in a box
I fit with you
I wasn't made for the box :-)
Love that the two of you are sharing your journey with the rest of us...
ReplyDeleteThose little foxes, they can be vicious...
The bu foxes can be hard to see even!

ReplyDeleteThe husband's reply is true to character-very brief :-)
Thank you :-) This is clearly another one of the ways in which he complements his verbose wife!
