Broken Covenant Poem by Tameeka Smith

When I use to think of what we had
It would make me sad
After all marriage is a special thing
A covenant with God
When a lady and a man
Becomes wife and husband
Number one we must understand
True love isn't planned
Love is precious
And so beautiful
Especially when the love is equal
So if you are not ready
For love then don't accept
A person's heart
When they offer it to you
Another important thing
A marriage can not survive
With interference from the outside
Also decisions should not be made
As if you are single
They must be made together
With a prayer to God as glue
To hold them in place
Praying that you gain understanding
As I have one day
I don't blame God
And I don't only blame you
I played a role in the demise
Of the marriage too
It's ashame what we planned to prosper
Has now been reduced to a poem
Which consist of nouns and verbs
On a piece of paper
I am no longer sad or mad anymore
Because I now know that regardless of the
Outcome it's all a part of God's plan
So now I understand
I no longer question why
I know that God has greater
For me in my life
Looking on the bright side helped me to realize
Where I messed up and that was not keeping
God first
He knew us before our births
He has a master plan
For our lives
But if we don't consult the master
There's a master chance that things won't work
Pride will have you looking from a window
On the outside wishing that you were inside
Pride kills happiness it leaves you with regret
So if you have an ego lose it
It's not worth it
I have grown so much wiser now
I no longer cradle ideas about marriage
That are fables
Only God can keep a marriage stable
Because He is able
All we have to do is lay
Everything out on the table
I have never had so much confidence
About letting go
I truly hope that you find
The wife that God has for you
I don't hate you
How can I
I once loved you
Besides harbouring hate has no use
It only keeps us from reaching
The next level that we are trying
To get to
This isn't drama it's truth
Being honest is the right thing to do
As you can see I've looked
At me I have taken ownership
Of my mistakes
Can you?
