Love Is

Love is uncontrollable.
It has nothing to do with status.
It’s all to do with God.
I found my situation with real love odd.

I always wanted a man,
With plenty of money,
A good job,
A degree,
Who didn’t know anything,
About the streets.
So that I could live in a home,
Of wealth, prosperity,
And peace.

God had a different plan
To define love for me.
He gave me someone,
Who doesn’t have a lot of money,
An okay job,
No degree,
Who knows a lot about the streets,
But he really wants to be with me,
And works hard for us to have a
Descent living, home life, 
And spirit –wealthy family.

Love is uncontrollable.
It has nothing to do with status.
It’s all to do with God.
I found my situation with real love odd.
