Every Good Thing She Carries

First and foremost,

Thank you, God, for her. 

Thank you for a love I didn’t see coming, 

Yet somehow feels like it was always on its way. 

She arrived like answered pray, 

Like light slipping through a window I didn’t know was open,

She changed the rhythm of my life,

And introduced a new sound known as love. 

She loves me in languages I had never learned,

In ways my heart didn’t know it could be spoken to,

I’m truly grateful to her,

And every good thing she carries. 

I love the way she wears confidence,

It’s not loud or forced,

But it’s like how sunlight rests on the morning, 

Natural and undeniable. 

She knows her beauty,

Not just what the mirror reflect,

But what her soul has always whispered. 

She stands in her truth,

Unmoved by doubt,

Rooted in a quiet certainty that inspires mine. 

I am unguarded with her,

Able to place my thoughts in her hands, 

Without fear of them breaking, 

I trust her with my heart, 

The way one trusts something sacred,

Knowing she will treat it well,

As something more precious than rubies. 

Her kindness flows without hesitation,

Like a river that does not question where it’s going,

Only that it must give. 

She welcomes my world as if it were her own,

Meeting my people with warmth, 

Welcoming others with grace, 

That feels both rare and familiar. 

There’s beauty in her generosity,

But even more in the way she gives it freely. 

She is my partner in every sense,

Steady in joy,

Present in hardship,

Unshaken when life asks more of us. 

I don’t just exist with her, 

I experience all the true beauty of life. 

She is the one I walk beside,

Equally yoked, 

Aligned in purpose, 

Moving in the same direction, 

With hearts that understand each other. 

She is a woman who reveres You,

Who places You at the center,

And allows that love to overflow into everything else. 

I see it when she prays,

When she reads Your Word,

When she moves with faith,

Even when the path isn’t clear. 

I know she is not here by chance,

You wrote her into my life,

With intention,

With care,

With love that only You could design. 

So I thank You,

For preparing me for her,

For allowing our paths to meet,

For the love we now carry together, 

And for every good thing you placed inside of her.
