Love is in the Air

Ruth & Boaz


Love is kind
not boastful
or proud.

Even coming
from a land
far away.

I lay
before you
on a threshing floor. 

Hoping you
will do right
by me.

I glean
in your fields
while you provide.

For me
and my family
given by God.

I had
lost everything
and yet I came.

Not knowing
but knowing
this was meant to be.

For without our union
a genetic miracle
would never be.

A harlot
beget a son
and a foreigner
beget a king
who would be
king forever
and ever.

This poem was inspired by the book of Ruth.  Ruth has always been a favorite of mine because it is a love story and I like romances.  Especially those with a happy ending.
