Test

I almost failed a test
handed down to me
I admitted I am often a slave
but I want to be free.

Free to be His wife
as I'd promised I'd be;
slaves don't choose their fate
accepting His ring is the key.

Not a key on a keyboard
one that calls to me
even when I sleep,
it robs my memory!

No. One that opens a gate
one that fills my heart with glee
where all my loved ones are
for all eternity.
