This is an exerpt from a sestina poem I wrote for my handsome husband as we leave for Alaska.
As I Follow
Love began for His renown
I waited just for him
Twenty-four years and then I found
His godly leading I could bear
For we share the same Love
His footprints I will follow
"Follow me as I follow"
He said it was to Christ's renown
Now I had two loves
But one overshadowed him
Loving God more I must bear
Not bear...but in Him be found
On God's Word it will be founded
They lead me and I wholly follow
Fears abound: wolves, cold, bears
Yes! Not for our renown
For Christ and Him
Alone, only lead on, my Love
