Honey In My Heart

Honey In My Heart

By: Annette Thomas

I have never once felt

Unloved by either of you.

You took me into your

Lives at a time when

Your daughter had

Just came out.

At an emotional time

When you yourselves

Were processing

Your own feelings

Around that news.

But what did you do?

You opened, not only

Your home to me,

But your lives.

You could have

Done as many others

Have and rejected me.

But No. You poured

Honey in my heart –

That same sweet and

Unconditional love

That you gave your

Own daughter.

Then 4 short months

Later, when I came to

You and asked for

Your blessing as I

Wanted to ask Elaine

To marry me…

What did you do?

Did you tell me no,

Despite any of a

Number of emotions

Or reservations you

Might have had?

No. You once again

Just opened your

Arms and heart,

Pouring in more

Sweet unconditional

Love into my life.

So, as I stand here

Today and make my

Vow to Elaine, I also

Want to say thank

You for pouring all

That honey in my heart.

Nothing Can Beat This

Nothing Can Beat This

By: Annette Thomas

All the miles on the road

And messages on the screen;

All the visits with family

And the meeting of friends;

Joining her at church in

A moment of prayer;

And simple connections

Sitting on the porch;

Shared adventures and

Surprise I love you texts;

Cooking together and

The one-on-one time;

The kisses at red lights

And just because hugs;

Impromptu events and

Countless other blessings;

Nothing can beat this

But her saying ‘Yes!’

To spending the rest

Of our days together.
