God's Approval

A warm September evening
in Belleville, Illinois. It was
in my front yard on Taft Street,
in Mike's blue Chevy pick-up truck.
We sat and talked, embracing,
exchanging precious thoughts of love,
wrapped up in all those feelings
lovers get from God above.
Just like another evening,
familiar, and yet different.
For as we held each other
a new thing happened in it.
Enveloped, as we were, in love,
it seemed quite natural, not odd,
that spirits could be intertwined,
we, be as one with God!
It was a special blessing,
a time not wanting end.
But with jobs and duties calling,
Mike had to leave and I went in.
It was unique, in fact, quite rare–
or, so it seems to all our friends.
But to us it was a sign from God,
approval only He could send!
