Analysis of God spoke to me about you
Ni’se Morris 1981 (United States)
He said this one
is not like the others!
That you’ve come across in the past
Take her the way you met her,
I said okay then Father!
What do you propose
I’m listening?!
She is not to be tested
She has shown and proofed
that she is better that you
in many ways,
Humble yourself and LEARN,
listen, and be patient!
These are attributes of
a decent human being
Of a life you have always
aspire to have and wanted
This the one right in front of you,
can’t you see,
The humility in her,
is what’s in me
Learn to LOVE her
unconditional or leave her to me!

About this poem
I was going through a rough patch with my wife, and didn’t know how to communicate with her, so I decided to put in a poem.
