Come This Far

They started as two,

but ended as one.

Hand-in-hand,

they ran through the fight.

Difficult, an understatement,

love pulled them through.

It started out slow,

and burned just enough.

Pure and delicate,

like fresh fallen snow.

Never pushed,

never forced.

Never rushed,

never hurried.

Month after month,

year after year.

It ended beautifully,

just two lovers in Christ.

Brought together,

and taken together.

No one anticipated,

no one sought out to come this far.
