The Summer of My 21st Year

The summer of my 21st year,
  i fell in love with You
  and broke your heart again
Followed the road to places unseen
  with people i did not know
    best friends now
Marvelled at wonders
  and dreamed dreams
Struggled to keep
  my head above water
  when all i wanted to do was drown
learned more about the strength
    to be found in faith
  and how little I have on my own
wondered at my insecurity
  incapability
and the unending love that surounds me
  from You
I lost something precious,
    taken by your hand,
gained contentment
   made a friend,
     regained my youth;
played at the beach and
  jumped in puddles,
climbed a tree and
  read a book;
i rode a motorcycle,
  chased the rain
kissed the rain... and was kissed in return
 ~sweet breath of God!~
i walked through a cloud
  chased a rainbow
    ...wished on a star...
    planted flowers
  played in the dirt
    danced for joy among the thorns
In the summer of my 21st year
  we travelled many restless days
  so You could bring me home again.
