23. Before Our Vows

  • poem
  • the man in me

My heart was glad that I found you
It sang day in and day out
It gave praise to The Almighty for the things He had done
Without a doubt my heart was at peace
As it heard the sound of your voice
As you often changed your tone from high to low
Telling me, “Max, you are not alone”
My heart was grateful for I used my head when I made the choice
Of pursing you and welcoming you in my life
There was still a long way before I had to make you my wife
But Christ said “Tomorrow has its own worries”
So, I focused on the present and what we had then
My heart continued to get closer and closer to yours
Slowly making a bond
A bond that was much greater than wedlock
A bond that would have stood to see your wrinkled face and facials
When your breasts will be mellow
Indeed, my heart was glad that I was friends with you
