Our Relationship Poem by Randy McClave

Hey God.
You see this relationship that I am in
This is where it does begin,
Our goal is to build a loving relationship
We wouldn't mind if you give us a tip.
We want one that honors each other
As we have honored both or father and mother,
And most importantly which is true
We want to always honor, You!
We want a relationship that is healthy
Not sick or detested or stealthy,
We want one filled with affection and love
And to you from Heaven above.
Open the eyes of our hearts and show us the right direction
So, we truly feel the affection,
For this relationship please help us to develop
As to each other we chose to step up.
We want healthy communication and boundaries
That protects our hearts and allows us to build what God sees,
We want a healthy relationship as we grow closer together
That accord we don't want to ever discard or sever.
Unto you we also want to grow closer
In our life as one we want you to be the composer,
Help us to honor each other in this relationship we hold
And let us have it when together we grow old.
Help us to make decisions that won't haunt us
If this relationship does not work out, help us discuss,
I trust you to guide us and to not allow the fear of being alone
To make us settle for something not meant for us as we moan.
Surround us with wise people who can speak with wisdom and life
To each other help us not to be cynical or dumb without strife,
You always have permission to correct us in any area
For your correction is our protection from hysteria.
Lord, please take our hands and lead us the way
As unto you we always worship and pray,
In this relationship please help us feel the same
Please, please as we pray in Jesus's name.
