“Super Glue”

| Laura Lee Bonde

you can’t make
a parent
bond with their child

and you can’t make
a person
bond with their spouse

you can’t make
a teacher
bond with their student

but without that bond
what’re you left with

a child without love
a spouse without trust
a student without direction

thank God for God
Who takes what’s broken
and makes it whole

just don’t withhold
any piece of your heart

“Relationship Takes Two”

| Laura Lee Bonde

under His Glory
beneath the stars
on solid ground

He spends time with me

under His Glory
beneath the stars
on solid ground

I spend time with Him

could you imagine
if one of us
didn’t

if only “I” was talking
never hearing from God
never seeing a sign

and what about Him

if “He” was only talking
as I lived my life
apart from Him

Hosea was placed
in marriage
for a purpose

to show how
one-sided
the relationship was

my prayer is for all
to spend time with Him

under His Glory
beneath the stars
on solid ground

He never dated, never had a girlfriend, never “moved on.” Continue reading →
