You are my passion*

I look into your eyes and I see the future
I look into your eyes and I see endless possibilities
I look into your eyes and I see a fire 

Once again, there is that fire that burns so bright in summer
There is that fire that makes you giddy
There is that fire that pushes you to speak as if you’re invincible
And when I see that fire, that passion, I always come undone

I look at you and my heart skips a beat or two
I look at you and I remember why I’m here and why I can never seem to leave
I look at you and a promise is renewed in my heart
I will give my life to see you rise up
I will give my life to see you conquer your Canaan
I will give my life to see you fall deeper and deeper in love

And it is during these times that it is so easy to do a Caleb
To wait, however long it takes, to see you enter the Promised Land
It is during these times that the tears were all worth it
And that I would gladly shed more if it is what will water the soil of your heart

I pray that the passion stays.
