You are a true joy to ponder, my dove!
This morning’s walk was brisk.
The air was still and frozen.
Still the sun was enjoying
The waves of Fall leaves
That I stirred up with me feet.
It was a wonderful time
To ponder God's goodness to us.
I spied two green chairs on a front lawn
of a brown brick row town home.
They were empty but huddled close together.
I imagined us sitting there
Holding hands and listening to God's voice.
I do enjoy just being in your presence, Sonia.
The peace God has given you
Feeds my soul.
It won't be long
Before we can touch.
Can you imagine the intensity!
We had better warn the fire department!
The fire and heat coming from our room is not a blaze!
Just the burning passion of two lovers
Celebrating the joy of the Lord together.
Hallelujah!
Soon and very soon my dear.
You passionate husband,
Brad

Good morning sunshine of my life
Good morning sunshine of my life!
I can feel the heat of your love, my dear Sonia.
Even a noisy phone connection
Could not interfere with the spirit of your love.
I am so blessed by the awesome gift of your passion.
I am humbled to sense God's favor.
There were times during our conversation across the ocean
That I could feel the connection with your spirit.
I know God has joined us.
I trust God will grow us together everyday.
Distance is no obstacle for Him.
Last night I could still hear your voice in my heart.
It stirred a deep passion and a yearning for your touch.
I am learning to focus that longing upon Christ
And His soon coming Kingdom
What a joy it will be To see His glorious face!
Full of majesty and grace!
Your prayers are making a difference, my dove.
My prayer for you,
Is that God continues to use you in a powerful way.
That your hand would be His hand extended
That you would continue to discover the richness
Of an awesome relationship that declares you
To be a daughter of the Most High God!
I was thrilled to hear your delight in God's Word.
That is fuel for my heart and energy for your walk.
Your steps are anointed my dear!
Your life is in His caring Hands.
And our lives are being forged together
To become a mighty instrument
For His glory.
Amen!
Your husband, Brad

Your Smile Is a Friend of Mine
Your Smile Is a Friend of Mine
Your smile is a friend of mine.
It warms my cheeks
When the morning chill
Attempts to nip my strolling face.
Every morning walk to work
I think of the your smile
When the sun begins to peak
Through the veil of dawn.
Your smile is a light and a hope
For now I can not see your smile
But I have confidence God is more
Than able to bring us into the same room again.
Then we can dance and bask
In glory of His light as He
Joins our smiles once more
In the joy of our vows.
I yearn for those days with hope.
I know I will see you soon
And return the grace you have given me
With all the passion God can give.
I love you with every step I make.
I pray for you with every breath I take.
I long to be with you
And rejoice again in the love we make.
For my dearest dove, Sonia
Your loving husband,

Looking forward to Seeing Sonia in the Spring!
Brown leaves of Fall
Dance in the breezy morning shadows
that chills my cheeks.
Peaking under the covers of night
An early autumn sun shimmers
From the edge of a blue and bronze rim of dawn.
My heart is yearning for spring already
Though the yellow fingers of fall
Barely fringe the canopy of the streets
Of the city.
Spring will be singing soon enough.
I can hear echoes of the meadow lark
And a breath of hope
Blow across hills of greening grass.
For God has given me a longing faith
To endure the aches of a winter freeze.
I long to see my lover smile again
In the blue and bronze of dawn.
He breathes on my dearest
With distant desert winds.
I can not feel the warmth of her
Spring-time touch or see the
Brilliance of her summer smile.
But in each morning shadow
I sense the reach of her love and prayers.
God has gifted my love
With the passion of noon-day sun.
She shares her heart and tears
And morning fears with mine
And together we pray away
In the power of God’s presence.
Her gift is far this approaching fall
But the promise of spring that God
Brings every season
Embraces my soul with hope.
God is near
And so is Sonia.
Her touch is far.
Her voice is near.
I am confident
God’s unfailing grace
Will keep her safe
And warm my heart
Throughout the winter of our apart.
For my wife Sonia
On her Baghdad trek
