Above The 'Law'

Addition over a decade
Subtraction with unprepared objection
Contributing to all I’ve become
Diminishing the resources from which I draw

He multiplied the love in my life
He divided the challenges we’ve confronted
He sowed our growth with unlimited support
He minimized the obstacles that blocked our path

I am glad to have never known
Anyone to which he’d be compared
I would only have seen an empty pale
Lacking his colorful spirit, unable to carry his load

A source of my world’s genesis
A nurturer of all for which I live
A navigator that knowingly mapped her path
A course with me as the unknown destination

My future smiles his mirrored smile
My heart is held by his hands’ creation
My success has come with his wind in my sail
My destination is intertwined with his legacy
