Petals of Grace in the Wind
The touch that transforms
In soft undertones, the petals take flight.
I watch them dance, a ballet in the breeze.
Each one a story, bold against the night,
A testament to strength despite the freeze.
You stand beside me, silent in your grace.
Together, witnessing this tender scene.
In every petal, I can see your face.
Reflecting all the places we have been.
These petals, like our dreams, soar and spin.
Unfettered by the burdens of their past.
I feel your hand in mine, skin touching skin.
A promise without words that’s meant to last.
In every gust, our spirits intertwine.
With petals in the wind, your heart and mine.
And in this dance, a whisper of Divine,
Jesus’ presence, guiding us to shine.
