I Love You

Your anxious thoughts won't quiet,
And your tired brain won't stop
Processing the wrongs you did that day.
I look at you and wish you'd hear me say,
I love you

You dwell on jobs unfinished
And determine to do more,
Swearing you will work with greater zeal.
I shake my head and wish that you could feel,
I love you

You replay all your failures,
And you relive each misstep,
Forcing you to wallow in your shame.
I reach for you and softly breathe your name.
I love you

Each sin you want to conquer,
And each soul you want to save,
Trying to do every job you see.
I wait for you to simply walk with me.
I love you.

I'm pleased by your devotion,
But I fear you've missed the point,
Thinking that I need the work you've done.
I didn't want a servant but a son.
I love you.

Let my love fuel your movements.
Let love shine in your eyes.
Allowing me to touch a world through you.
I smile at you and send you life anew.
I love you.
