Ruth
It has come to this, my loveThat I do lie at your feet and wait for your awakening
And I know that my choices were bountiful
With my fair skin and dark hair
But it is you, in your generosity
Your protection, kindness, and boldness
That I have set my heart upon
That you should take me in like one of your own
And provide for and protect me
Is more than I could resist
So I simply ask that you take me as yours forever
Obstacles arise but you are wise
None other could match so completely, you know this well
So I will wait in my best dress and perfume
Purchase your land and fields, spending all that you have
If only to make me yours

I don't know if this is supposed to be toward God or not but I think that when I read it and think of my Love for God it is a great poem. To chose God over the idols in this world, His generosity and protecting, kindness and boldness to enter our lives. We come to God with our best gifts and abilities to offer Him for his abounding love and just to be with Him is the greatest thing...
