Relationship Rock Part One

It wasn't boarded up, like some fine space that journey, than the path to know His grace, a treasured item, diamond ring, I'd take and hear from God, the promise, I must make! I walked among the rocks, to seek and rake for some indenture that my eyes could sake, the groove was necessary, God's intake I knew His reason, mine was sadly great. Yes, there, a voice commanded, I bent down and picked it up, not feeling once life's crown, I knew God's reason, following was short and if to serve, must give up now's resort! I walked so slowly, knowing God's report was in each step, as willing, not contort the rock within my grasp, I measured bold the ring upon my hand, its edges gold! It fit, the diamonds sitting on the stone how odd my life's become ~ while others hone their vestige in each other, I'm alone ~ keep walking, I must listen, not be drone! I set the rock and ring upon a ledge and there would pray consistently, not hedge a love of many years ~ I felt a wedge of God's awakening ~ to severe like a dredge! I was inventive, following the urge and everyone I met ~ had so much nerve while I was hanging on, some promise serve was going nowhere ~ only packed reserve! God's power is so great, in little ways to break a trust within for common sake would later through the years, then sense the gain but now the awesome emptiness was pain. It seems the ring so sparkly caught the eye of some observer stopping to talk the time I took to pray, no more a balk about God's reason ~ yet I knew the walk! The ring was gone ~ the visitor's compel was just to steal my precious place of tell engagement has a message, not a spell the years were growing on ~ the friendship knell!
