MINETTE
( Free Verse )
How lovely thou art
A beauty that enthralled his heart
Wherever he is assigned
You are always in his mind.
Whether he is in the boondocks
He thinks of you with all his heart
That someday you'll be entwined
In the sacred altar of love
Remember, not only him you'll marry
But also his God-given duty
Support him, love him with loyalty and sincerity
Full of understanding, integrity and dignity
Life in the ministry is not a bed of roses
The road is bumpy, arduous and difficult
Rely, pin your trust and hope in God
For He is benevolent and full of love
If someday, in different world as you make your ways
And feel the pangs of hardship and loneliness
Call upon His Name, bend your knees
Surely He'll provide the things you need
Many women are bound to marry
But you are pecullar, uniquely
Brave the weather happen what may
Thank him for having a “ part in the ministry. "
Continue to beseech and entreat the Lord above
To bless you both a honest heart
That though temptations abound
With a sweet smile, you will surely surmount.
