: ITUNU DAVID (God Kept His Promise)

A Song for My Wife on Our 3rd Wedding Anniversary

---

:

Three years ago, I didn't just marry a beautiful woman.

I married God's answer to a promise.

When life taught me that some chapters must end, God quietly whispered to my heart, "I will send you consolation."

I didn't know He had already placed her in my story.

Today, I know her as my wife, my closest friend, the mother of our daughter, my prayer partner, my best doctor, my greatest encourager...

My Itunu David, this is our story.

:

We met where service shaped our footsteps,

Two hearts pursuing Heaven's call.

Not knowing God, in silent wisdom,

Had written love before it all.

I saw a gentle, quiet spirit,

A humble heart, so full of grace.

While Heaven smiled behind the curtain,

Preparing time, preparing place.

When yesterday still held my questions,

And healing had not reached my soul,

You stood so close, yet neither of us

Could see the story God controlled.

:

Then You, Lord, whispered softly,

"Son, just trust My perfect plan..."

You promised consolation...

Then You placed her in my hands.

:

Itunu David...

You're the comfort Heaven promised me.

The prayer I prayed before I knew

That God was writing destiny.

Itunu David...

When I whisper your sweet name,

I'm reminded every single day

God still keeps His promises the same.

To the world you're Glory,

But to my heart you'll always be

My consolation...

My answered prayer...

My Itunu David.

:

You hear the words I never utter,

You read the silence in my eyes.

Before I speak of all my burdens,

You're lifting me to brighter skies.

You've stood beside me through the lean days,

Never counting what love would cost.

You chose to build instead of leaving,

Reminding me no seed is lost.

You are the calm within my chaos,

The smile that turns my night to dawn.

My faithful friend, my fiercest defender,

The hand I know I lean upon.

You pray for me before the sunrise,

You call down grace upon my way.

And every whispered prayer you've offered

Has helped me stand another day.

:

Itunu David...

You're the comfort Heaven promised me.

The prayer I prayed before I knew

That God was writing destiny.

Itunu David...

Every dream we now embrace

Bears the fingerprints of mercy

And the beauty of God's grace.

To the world you're Glory,

But to my heart you'll always be

**My consolation...

My answered prayer...

My Itunu David.**

:

Then God entrusted us a daughter,

A little miracle to hold.

I've watched you love with patient wisdom,

Planting truth within her soul.

You listen to her tiny heartbeat,

You teach her how to seek God's face.

You're shaping tomorrow with your kindness,

One little prayer, one warm embrace.

Our house became much more than shelter,

Because your laughter fills each room.

Where you are, there is peace and joy,

And every ordinary day can bloom.

:

If years should paint our hair with silver,

And slow the steps we walk today,

I'll still be reaching for your hand,

Choosing you in every way.

I'll never leave you walking lonely,

I'll never let your dreams grow dim.

May Christ forever be the center,

Our hearts surrendered first to Him.

Not feelings...

Not traditions...

Not the voices of the day...

But Jesus leading every heartbeat,

As we journey all the way.

:

Itunu David...

You're still the promise Heaven keeps.

The song my grateful heart will sing

For every answered prayer it reaps.

Itunu David...

If God should ask me once again

Who I'd choose to walk beside

Until my journey finds its end...

I'd smile and say,

"Lord... give me her."

Because You already did.

Happy Third Anniversary,

My consolation.

My best friend.

My answered prayer.

I love you...

Yesterday...

Today...

And for all the tomorrows God graciously gives us.

Forever yours,

David.
