He is the force that peels my sleeping eyes open
He is the scent behind the morning dew
He is the reason I have people to say good morning to
The reason behind our ritualized turning our cheeks for a second kiss
Squeezing our noses for a third
He is the science behind the brilliant communication between my mind and my body
He helps me do what I need to before I even know I want to do it
He is the blessing behind His presence is those around me
The mutual joy behind the “smile and waves” of the day
He is the reason we all come back home
The hand behind the dinner that feeds us
The grace that there are still mouths to feed
The peace behind the silence we yearned for all day
He is the spirit that flips the pages open
To a page oh-so-appropriate to my current situation
He is weight that tucks me into bed
And the kindness that lets me use him as my pillow
He is the One who lets me do it all again
