KINGS AND QUEENS

I saw these words posted on the Instagram page of a friend of sorts. He’s a musician, an inspirer, a widow, and a pirate who I follow whose posts I thoroughly adore:

… listen to her thoughts … adore her like no one could ever do … be more than just a text message … be the air they breathe, future they plan and smile they wear everywhere … live to have her hug you from behind … write her letters and hold hands while kissing … love until your heart is empty … and then love some more … BE HER EVERYTHING.

{from “The Diary Of An Outlaw” Music)

How lucky am I to have had loved and been loved by TWO kings on this Earth? Some women never have one! My two kings loved me unconditionally to the depths of their souls with every shred of what they had and helped me become the true QUEEN I am today! These days in the queendom I’m an impermeable fortress and I just can’t say it enough.

My King in Heaven is pretty smitten with me, too, by the way … I can feel His hands wrapped around my heart every second of every day. My crazy blind faith in Him only pales in comparison to the faith He’s had in me since before I was even born, and He has loved me like the QUEEN He intended me to be long before any man on this Earth ever did. Is there to be “one last king” in this realm for me? Only He knows that, and He’s got this! If there is, there is. If there isn’t, so be it. I’ve been there, and done that, and the legacies of love the two of them left for me are more than enough to fill my heart for the NEXT fifty years without them if that is to be the case.

That being said, I’ll admit that my standards are beyond obnoxiously high now, and as I’ve said before, it would take one HELL of a powerful presence of a man to stand with the shadows of the two loves of my life that came before him. I know EXACTLY who I am, EXACTLY what I’m worth, and EXACTLY who is worthy of my time, attention, and affection, much less being put on a pedestal. Sufficed to say, I will accept nothing but a king again, so unless and until that day comes that the “one last king on Earth” comes to find me, I’ll continue to reign here in my kingdom happily alone but not lonely. Trust me when I tell you that this crown on my head is going nowhere. As for the next 50 years? I’ll be having the time of my life and simply enjoying being alive.
