THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERED
A love letter to God
 
I walked along the shore,
    and the only things that mattered were the sun warming my face and the surf pounding the sand
 
I gazed upon the sea
    and the only things that mattered were the crashing of the waves and YOU by my side
 
I looked into YOUR eyes
    and there were no yesterdays, nor any tomorrows, the only thing that mattered was now
 
YOU touched my hand
    and my soul soared
    a gull on the ocean breeze
    and the only thing that mattered was the wind beneath my wings
 
YOU embraced me and my life became complete
    the wind would never cease
    the waves would keep their cadence
    the sun would never fade
    and now became forever
 
YOU held me
 
And we became One, in Body, in Spirit
 
    and that
    was the only thing that mattered.
