Beloved – A Poem
It seems my Thankful Thursday theme has come a long way from its humble beginnings on January 6, 2011 with an acrostic poem titled Thankful. With few exceptions, though, the one constant is that Thankful Thursday means a poem about something I am thankful for.
The other day one of my fellow bloggers wrote about our new name in Christ, and asked her readers what we believed our new name was. My first thought was “beloved.” As I pondered a poem to write for today, I decided that would be my theme.
Beloved
I long to be
Your beloved child
Your cherished friend
Your everything
You long to be
My beloved God
My cherished friend
My everything
It’s not a wish come true
But a prayer answered
That brought us together
As beloved
My beloved is mine and I am his;
he browses among the lilies.
Song of Songs 2:16 (NIV).

“It’s not a wish come true / but a prayer answered” I loved that Linda! God bless you, one of His beloved ones! 🙂
This poem is absolutely beautiful! I like your thoughts , too about the name “beloved”…perfect for the Bride of Christ analogy. I also think it is really special that the desire of your heart is so God honoring.
Blessings,
Theresa
Theresa, I never thought of us being the Bride of Christ and how that fit with this poem. I actually wrote this in about 10 minutes late last night when I should have been going to bed. 🙂 Peace, Linda
