Three Strand Rope

By design it was supposed to keep 
couples together, threw prayer and 
communication it was designed to 
make everything better, but what 
good are those vows if you're not 
equally standing on that solid rock, 
what good is a promise if one 
person decided their belief in the 
father should so suddenly stop, and 
that ship that was once docked by 
that everlasting covenant, that love 
just sailed away slowly but surely all 
of a sudden, whether single in Christ 
or married to a wife, there is no 
relaxation nobody has the right to 
say What's right when you never 
asked them what was wrong, call it 
an assault charge not physically but 
you did em emotional & spiritual 
harm, I mean who gets married not 
wanting that happily ever after, 
which was once a best selling book 
turns into a dreadful chapter or 
should've and would've chalk it up 
to regrets, or a list you should've 
kept but there's no blueprint for this 
no matter how much you follow 
them steps, it's like a scary movie 
now but don't look away on them 
horror scenes that might just be 
what'll save you change you, I been 
there done it emotionally I been 
maimed too but who's to blame 
you? That's right when you don't 
look to the father you suffer 
misdirection and this is a life 
changing decision America's view on 
marriage is such a misconception, 
it's actually a blessing when it's 
done right and founded on hope, 
turn that negative into a positive 
hold on to that three strand rope.
