To my husband, somewhere out there
My vision of you is as clear as the air.
Someday I'll delight in your details too,
'Till then I love character russet in hue.
A strong stable brown with a vivid red tint
Whatever you do, you put your heart in it.
Patient and humble, fun, smart and sweet,
You're going to sweep me right off of my feet.
Funny to think of the things that you've got:
Years and a name and a job, like as not.
Of all of these I just haven't a clue,
But when I dig deeper I'll recognize you.
Our first love is Christ, on that we're quite clear
Yet us coming second makes you twice as dear.
Please come and find me, I'm waiting for good
For a man with a core the color of wood.
