Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas 
my love
It’s another day we sing God’s blessings 
Distance may separate us but 
God’s love is the same everyday
Distance memories occupy my mind
Distance thoughts of our first good Friday walk
Our first kiss on that lovely Sunday
All ringers in my mind as I write this
Naive you were if not drunk with love
Foolish I was if not a fool I was
To think I could win a woman like you
First without a job
Second without money 
Third without an overflowing wallet
But God made His way felt in us
Not money nor my account won your heart
For despite my failures;
God won me your heart
Yes without a single shilling 
Yes without any candle lite dinner
Yes without even a single date 
God did the impossible for me possible 
You left your rich boyfriends for me
You forgot about class and started low in the society 
But slowly pride grew
You forgot where God took us from
Without applying for a job I got one
Without even any experience 
You witnessed God raise me up the success ladder
But you became cold and started been distracted 
Because you started believing am sleeping around
I didn’t need to for God watched over me
I didn’t have to for you were enough for me
But pride later on destroyed us both
Today am not single because you only cheated 
And you defiled our bed
No;am serving for my sins that I committed while you were my wife
Sins i could easily avoid but I didn’t 
Regretfully I have suffered family rejection 
Regretfully I pity the life our son is living 
Regretfully I fear that Christmas at your home
Is just a day of wishful thinking because 
You are always scolded for making me your decision 
One day God willing you and I shall be called to testify
What sin or error did we do that is not forgivable 
What sin did our son commit to know rejection and depression 
What error is this that you can’t ask for pardon 
What Christians are we that we substitute even what can’t be changed
Divorce or separation of couples is a no go zone
This is just a pile of wishful thinking 
But reality is in your heart and mine...
God protect you always
