sappy for a moment

My husband is one of the most amazing and endearing men I have ever met. He's smart, talented, funny, handsome and encompasses my whole world. I love him. He wrote me a song. I came to a perfectly clean home, this, and his guitar. This is the first one in several years. He's always had a way with words.

Stepping down from my uninvested fight,
I sight a turning in the wind
Keeping low, I find it hard to move so slow
I try to catch it from behind


I wake, I might shake
The winds are coming to take me now
I want space, I want the shadows to hide my place
I lose hope, I lose the power to hold my own
On my own

My breathing this whole thing
These lungs can't take it all in
I've lost my breath, can't find the depth
Of feeling I'm needing the strength to take you all in
Your eyes, your lips,
They're so serene
I'm lost between

Loose me now from these shackles of the deep
The sleep now waved before my eyes
A new found dream, could this but be what it most seems
The start of beauty giving heart


It screams... I must wake
The winds are coming to take me now
I want space, I want the shadows to hide my place
I lose hope, I lose the power to hold my own
On my own


My breathing this whole thing
These lungs can't take it all in
I've lost my breath, can't find the depth
Of feeling I'm needing the strength to take you all in
Your eyes, your lips,
They're so serene
I'm lost between




p.s. we'll be celebrating 6 years in less than 3 weeks. Every day is better than the day before. Truly.
This is us. He's singing me a song he wrote 6 years ago. I thought I loved him then.... I did love him, but it pales in comparison to what I feel for him now.

Okay, sappy moment is over. Thanks for appeasing me.

Love this post!!! I feel the same way about Mike. I didn't think I'd love him more than I did when we got married, but it's true it's so much more it's mind boggling. I'm so glad you guys found each other. You're perfect together.
wonderful and pretty good lyrics if I do say so.

To better suit my purposes, I have decided to make this more of a journal. That's what it is anyway, but I see no reason to allow random people to see it. I am going *private* Please leave your email if you are even a casual observer at the happenings in the Pettit household. You are welcome any time. The change will happen one month from today.
