Deep Down
Two people are feeling the effects of “deep down,”
One’s in the ocean and one’s in a home.
Even if they were both on land, would the distant connection remain?
So many memories haunt her as she sits reading and stroking a gift.
She’s wondered and waited, yet still only God knows.
Does he dream too or is he tied to his dream job?
She writes letters to someone, yet she fears he is only in her imagination.
“Is communication possible?” she wonders…
Would he even care or respond?
He said he wouldn’t make a lady wait.
But it was her choice without his knowing.
Waiting…Praying…Dreaming…Hoping…
Then one day it arrives, what she never imagined would happen.
Sure it is just a letter full of everyday events.
But somehow it produces a smile, a few tears, and a flood of memories…
The hope grows cautiously, yet she wants to burst into song.
It’s been so long!
The letters continued, though some far between.
Two years passed and the connection still grew.
Hoping and praying, she waited on God.
“I know if you want this, Your Will will be done.”
You know how they claim fairy tales don’t come true?
Well she kept believing and trusting too.
In the time of three months, the letters ceased.
She wondered and worried, but wouldn’t forget.
Days came and went,
Smiles faded, tears fell…
She tried to move on, finding inspiration in books.
The Bible brought peace and still hope.
She wouldn’t give up.
Not even when feeling at the end of her rope.
One day she walked into her favorite spot.
If ever depressed, she enjoyed to get lost at the library in the pages of a book.
As she wandered around, searching and searching.
Then a man turned and gave her a look.
She gasped at his familiar face of surprise.
It’d been so long…and she never believed they’d meet again on this earth.
It was him, from the letters causing feelings deep down.
They embraced and she sobbed, thanking God for His perfect plan and timing.
He asked, “You waited? For me? But why?”
She answered, “You’re different and I knew God would provide.”
They stood there in awe holding tight to fulfilled hope.
Never doubt, never give up, never speed past the best…
God can and will do what is best.
It will be more than you can imagine…
You’ll stand in awe…
Keep trusting the plan you know that He has.
After all, He knows all about those feelings deep down.
His love is that way and so we strive to love too.
Across distance and time…
From the depths of the ocean to the warmth of a home…
