I Do Miss Marriage, I Do- Part 1
I am a widow;
And I'm alone but not alone
Oh', And I've been without a wife for 3 years 9 months 4 days
And the grieving process was very strong the first couple of years
I met my first and only wife at the age of 17 and a half years old
I was on her job sitting in the reception area in front of her just staring glaring at her
Yes it was a young teenage love that I had for her
And believe it or not she had standards
She didn't want an extreme lazy man conceited a pretty boy
She didn't drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes or do marijuana
She had standards
Oh she said if you think you're interested in me you have to do the minimum of one thing
You have to go to church and try to be righteously with me
I said if that's all you want for this courtship being old-fashioned I told her I got this
So approximately 3 years later for my 21st birthday we said I do and in a religious ceremony we got married
After 40 years of marriage three children and my two grandchildren
On June 18th 2016 God took back his daughter
Leaving me here alone but not alone
Marriage is beautiful in the essence of God
And holy when you include God
Marriage is more then just touching and awe sexual intercourse
Marriage is sanctioned by God and glorified and beautiful impart more blessed
I had a dream last night to paraphrase yes it was real but I met someone that we talked and I looked in her eyes it was all positive we are on one Accord I'm not physically looking for I love to spouse but God knows my heart?
I miss I do miss positive marriage the goods and the bads the ups and the downs The Joint devotionals and all that expound
I do miss marriage... I Do
