Dear Adam :I Will Submit

And He put you to sleep, Cut you open, Took one of your ribs, And came up with me. Thus, I am from you, Part of you, A derived being, And so to you I shall submit. Bone of your bones and, Flesh of your flesh, You had to be for me to become, You breathed first before I woke up, And so rightfully you are the pioneer of me, The ultimate, the alpha. Dear Adam, To you I will submit, Your authority I will respect, And even though I struggle for equality, At times even dare put you under me, At the back of my mind I know I am wrong, So I apologise, and am going back to where I belong. He made me your helper and not competitor, He made me from you and not from Him though He had the capability, So automatically, you have priority. You are the head, I am your neck, I support you as you function, Help you turn this way and that To get a better view of things and at times bend to help you relax. I will offer my opinions and suggestions, But let you make alu the decisions, I will every night whisper your name in my prayer, Asking God to give you His wisdom and strength, To lead us everyday, And I will forever follow after you, After all I am the shadow of you. I will submit, I will obey, I will humble myself to you, Therefore letting God's blessings smoothly flow through.
