Poem for my Sisters in Waiting

Posted in response to Hana Reids posting of "I will wait for you" by Official P4CM Poet JANETTE...IKZ www.youtube.com

I pen this poem for my single Sisters in Waiting,

Who are overcome by the men that they are anticipating.

I am a prime example of following the concept of “I will”,

Too concerned with my own heart and it’s lack of fill.

As a brother in Christ I feel I must warn,

That a soul mate is not found or chosen but born.

In my first sinful, selfish, wayward life,

I chose for myself my first wife.

In whom I lumped all of my happiness expectations,

A failure from the beginning with huge ramifications.

Not to say that she was bad or at fault,

But because the Lord was not involved it was like food with too much salt.

Life over time became tasteless and bland,

Our relations moved on to things I could no longer stand.

And until I had patched things up with God,

I was lost in a sea of loneliness, and feeling lower than sod.

But I came to my senses and my mind went to bright from dim,

That true love is not found in others, but in Christ alone and only in him.

For until I found and knew the source of all love,

I could not know; who am I, and his plan up above.

Integrated as a part of the body again, a guest at his table and feast,

Concerned no longer by my futile search for a bride and myself focus had ceased.

A grand gesture made the master of the great harvest and of life,

To me he gifted; Merna, my beautiful and adoring wife.

So to my sisters in waiting, for whom all I bless and pray,

Strive and live first for Christ, and he will surely order your life in the same way.
