Dear Future Husband, (whoever you might be)

Can I call you nicknames, like maybe ‘Hubby’?
I’d like to be able to do that with you
And so many other things after I say ‘I do’.
But can you accept me just the way I am?
Because otherwise our love will be a sham.
And I may be the weirdest person you will have ever met,
I just hope and pray that you don’t give up on me yet.
Will you love me no matter what, through thick or thin?
Will you love me for what I have within?
I know, when I find you, I will love you unconditionally
There’s nothing I won’t love; you’ll be perfect to me.
I can’t wait to see you, meet you, and know you will be mine
And when I’m with you, everyone will see my face shine.
I can picture you now, with your beautiful smile,
Holding out your arms to me with teasing as your style.
Your eyes will sparkle when you see me because you can’t wait
To hold me again, pull me close and tell me, “You’re late,
Where have you been all my life? It’s you I’ve been missing.”
And I’ll say, “Don’t worry silly, I haven’t been evading,
I was only at the store, but I’m back for you now.”
And maybe you’ll smile your smile and ask me how
I didn’t miss you while I was gone; wouldn’t that be fun?
Just making jokes with each other every so often?
I think together we would just be so great
And whenever I’m with you, it’s happiness we create.
Sadly, I don’t know when I’ll be able to find you
But when I do, I know it will be true.
I just hope that I can find you soon
And then Love, we can walk under the moon.
But tell me, are you having trouble waiting for me also?
Hoping you’ll just wake up and find me tomorrow?
Well, I promise you’ll find me in a tomorrow someday
We will meet in a place, in a time, somehow, someway.
But until that time, I’ll be hoping and waiting to see you then,
Wondering if perhaps I’ve met you and can see you again.
So farewell, wait for me, and think of me some
Because we will be together on a day soon to come.
And remember, I will always love you
And I’m waiting for you too.

Sincerely,
Your loving Wifey

Dear Future Husband

Dear future husband,

I can’t promise you that I will always agree. I can’t promise you that
I will always tell you what’s wrong. I can’t promise that I will always
be able to ease your pain. I can’t promise you that I will never get
on your nerves. But I promise you that I will always be there for you.
I will smile with you and I will cry with you. I will care for you
when you get ill. I will cook for you and try to make it nutritious
and delicious. I will care for our kids and our pets with all the love
I have. I will try to point you to Christ in every moment. I pray that
our relationship will bring glory to God. I look forward to our many
adventures together.

Your future wife

BEAUTY is in the eyes of the beholder

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. It is all a matter of perception. A person who is not so good looking may have immense inner beauty. This is the beauty which gives the confidence to the person and becomes the reason for radiance reflecting on the face. This is what is called beauty as defined by traditionalists. Physical beauty can be achieved by any and everyone but ‘beauty’ in the real sense of term can only be appreciated by one who understands it. It is not important for a person to be gorgeous to be called ‘beautiful’; it is the heart that demands this praise. Here we come to the division between glamour and beauty. Dressing, accessories, shoes etc add to the glamour quotient whereas the purity of the heart is the measure of the beauty quotient.

But appreciation of universal beauty is still the monopoly of the eyes which sees it. Leonardo da Vinci’s Monalisa is considered a universal treat to the eyes. It is a rare piece of beauty, but again one may not appreciate the beauty of Monalisa and find it to be rather ugly! Yes it’s quite possible because beauty is a matter of perception. Ex. A feature which is not appealing to one can have immense attraction for another. Wrinkles on a woman’s face may be quite disturbing even to the woman, but to her lover it might be the very thing which attracts him. Same thing goes with imperfections. Many people like things or objects which are imperfect. Suppose a flower vase which is not so perfect may have more aesthetic appeal than a perfect vase. It all depends on how a person looks at it. Even an innate object may spell ‘awesome’ for some, while for others it may still remain innate. So the essence of beauty lies in what a person imagines and appreciates.
