I Was Born For You! Poem by Ayokunle Adeleye

In this I know I was born for you:
Everytime I look at you
I see the one for love of whom
I had left my mother's womb

Who I see is a you gentle and kind—
You are one of a kind—
I see the dove of love hovering
Over you, tender and loving

And it is not for lack of someone else
That with you I want to ring the wedding bells;
It is not for want of bling-bling
That I will give you a wedding ring

For as the bells tell of love that is complete
With such love am I replete;
As the rings tell of love that is endless
My love for you is seamless

Hence I look forward to when we'll walk down the aisle
En route to the altar;
Ahead of the bridal train file
Saying our love will not falter

On that day I hope to say 'I do'
And to thereafter stay forever with you
To me will you never become a moo
For together shall we overcome all anti-love coups

Believe that it is with you
That I want to spend the rest of my life
We will never engage in kung fu
As I will treasure you forever—as my beloved wife!
