For my Brian

“To Be So Seen”

I thank the Lord for sending you, 

A soul so kind, a heart so true. 

We walk as one, both hand in hand, 

Help meet and held by love’s command. 

And still I marvel, still I sigh, 

That love like yours would choose my life. 

To be so seen, to be so known— 

It stirs a joy I’ve never shown. 

You speak my name with tender grace, 

And light a smile upon my face. 

Your praise, it dances in the air, 

A song that says, “You’re worth my care.” 

And still I marvel, still I sigh, 

That love like yours would choose my life. 

To be so seen, to be so known— 

It stirs a joy I’ve never shown. 

Not that I doubt my worth or flame, 

But shadows long have known my name. 

Invisible, I learned to be— 

Till love like yours made me believe. 

So still I marvel, still I sigh, 

That love like yours would lift me high. 

To be so seen, to be so known— 

Is grace that feels like coming home.
