I appreciate the timing,
Even though I wish you had come sooner,
There's so much I would have shared,
Yet I might not have appreciated you as i should,
Nor accepted you for who you are.
I sought for you, even though He said not to,
Another foolish trait to rid before meeting you.
Preparation was required, you are so worthy of that I now know,
Before I could be with the woman He prophesied to me.
And I tell myself I didn't search,
Only "helping" God, calling it temp work.
Each failure had me hurting more than I should,
Causing me to trust myself less,
Trusting God more is what I understood.
I'm so glad it wasn't my will that prevailed,
One wrong move would be a life of Hell.
Looking back I acknowledge the time to simmer and mature,
Seeing you now it made me a suitable man for you.
I know without a doubt He did the same with you,
As you were all I knew I needed,
Even more what I didn't know.
Still you amaze me as you continue to grow,
I've been writing about you for years,
Sometimes doubting you would ever come,
Not knowing you were always under my nose.
Near, never far away,
Wondering if we met in passing,
Never knowing who you would be,
Even until the very end I couldn't see.
Until the Spirit revealed what I should say,
Asking you to dinner sight unseen,
Not knowing your voice,
Or whether I even appealed.
Our previous conversations were never to seek a mate,
Just connect with those who could help us along life's way.
And in you I've found my best friend in this life,
My companion, my lover, my lovely wife.
So I may never have asked you for your time,
Strictly based off what I could perceive,
But God had a plan beyond what I could believe,
And my reward for that obedience,
Now you and I are we.
To my Lovely Wife,
Shalona L. Robinson Happy Anniversary,
I Love You
