'How You Can Love Me Better' Poem by Claire Ann Sansolis

This was unplanned
This was unacceptable
This is not the norm
This is what they say is “uncool”

You are 6 years younger
You are my subordinate
You were not a believer
You are not half the man I hoped to be

Since you asked me how you can love me better
Since you are the one-
who touched my heart first
These very words I’ve mentioned from the start

Love the Lord with all your heart
With all your mind
With all your soul
With all your strength

You mentioned God spoke to you
When you asked him why it is me?
He answered you back that
“She will change your life”
And then you asked,
“What if she leaves me?
He answered,
“The rest is all up to you”

That means it is all up to if you want me to stay
I have already opened my heart to you
Regardless of the barriers and the circumstance
He gave his word that you are forgiven
That you are his chosen

To man belongs the plans of the heart
Bu from the Lord the reply of the tongue
Since he directed my heart to flow to you
Like a watercourse

This is my verdict:
Anything short of this is not for me
Anything less of this and I would know
That I’m just a channel
That I am not yours to claim

Love is a decision
And I will not question
If after all these he still leads you to me
For my heart belongs to God alone
He is the only one I choose to please

Please God and you chose to please me
Love God and you love me
Pursue him and you pursue
Me
