A perfected marriage is the story of a life
A life long journey between a man and his wife
When they first met they knew they were in love
A gift to each other given by Yahwah up above
They build a family and walk the path hand in hand
She is your woman, he is your man
You both like to smile, touch and cuddle with each other
It’s the perfect situation for two passionate lovers
The fires are warm and everything goes right
Perfect in the day, perfect in the night
Its going so well, you two know it couldn’t be any better
Sunshine every day, you receive the perfect weather
Nothing could possibly go wrong, as everything Is right
A perfect vision of the future, a strong perfect site
Yet I must say, that’s not the reality quite true
To have a perfected marriage, there’s trials you must go through
I mean how would you know the strength and depth of each others love and care
If all you had is a perfect couple pair
Yet you may argue sometime, you two may have some disputes
You don’t understand her, she doesn’t understand you
Quarrels may rise, tempers may flare
But for some reason you two are still there
You may make some errors, or even a big mistake
It could be shallow as a stream, or wide as a lake
Hearts may be broken, trust could be scarce
You may pout and be mannish, and act like you don’t care
Things may get hard, it just may get rough
But that’s when you measure the strength of your love
You may need marriage counseling or guidance from others
Because that’s what people do when they are true lovers
They recognize that life at times may not be peaches and cream
But because of a bond, they strive to save the dream
You may say things you don’t mean, and the other may cry
You may have questions, with no answer as to why
One may loose their job, the other gets depressed
At times you may feel everything is a mess
You may at times feel less that a woman, or not a worthy man
You may feel sometimes you have messed up your plans
You are angry, you are sad, you are happy, you are glad
You feel good a lot, yet sometimes bad
But you two strive and fight to make it work
Bandaged and bruised, patched up and hurt
Yet hand in hand, you stick closer together
Clinching the marriage in a tornadic stormy weather
You pray to Yahwah to help us from this hell
You fell like a failure yet you still won’t let it fail
You will try to talk it out, you try to communicate
You will fight to the end, for the other persons sake
And no one is perfect in practice nor style
But you are still hand in hand, every step every mile
After all the bombs of life have dropped and the skys have cleared from all the stormy weather
Lo and behold, you two are still together
You find you can still smile, make love and enjoy good times
the imperfections of the other person you don’t seem to mind
like 9 months of pregnancy, before a woman giving birth
she feels bent out of shape and life really hurts
she goes into labor and the pains gets rough
she feel faints when she pushes, and birthing is tough
but the baby is coming out and the screams are loud
but the quiet after the storm has produced a mom proud
you two are graduating, you’ve conceived a purpose in life
to be a divine couple, Yahwahs ordained husband and wife
all of the things that bent you out of shape
is the reason why you are stronger and mature and still together this day
don’t give up in the end when thing start to feel worse
that’s just an indication that you about to give birth
don’t ever separate yourselves, because thats just division
to give the upper hand to the devil to destroy the whole vision
stick it out together, communicate together, work it out together
silence isn’t an option, violence is a never
seek others you trust who may be able to help show you the way
and let Yahwah be the guide as together you two pray
Let your marriage grow, develop and give new life
Because that’s how you get a perfected marriage, husband and wife….
