"Prayer-Talk" [Module #131] (Luke 11:1)

“Jesus loves me this I know”,
Words from song of long ago;
“ For the Bible tells me so”,
True – but onward still I go.

Once my wife a letter wrote,
In it, of her love she spoke;
Impact high, “Hey! She loves me!
Here – it’s in the words I see”.

Now we’ve traveled forty plus
Years together, there is enough
Miles we’ve walked – my song has changed;
Years my thoughts have rearranged.

It’s all true, her former words
Written, spoken, truly heard;
But I’d add now, “For she is
Friend of mine – tells me what is –

State of being, just like Christ;
Bible, letters, both are nice,
In both cases “This I know
For past words have told me so” –

But to both there’s history –
Love lived out in mystery;
Jesus, wife, showed love to me –
Through the years of walk – I see.
