The Day After

I first want to apoligize for the delay and promise that you would not have to wait that long again.

The day After

It is the day after and here come the pain and the very reasons why this day is so insane. Why do we do this every year? I want to bring to light something that may just as well be focused on today, now before it gets too bad or just get worst. It is the day after and we can see clearly the ones who have failed the ultimate test. This is the Valentines Day black hole. I love the opposite sex and one day would like to be reconciled with the true aspect of love and in a Godly way not the way that I see unfolded today. Valentines! Wow it is a big word and has been the very test that has made relationships either die of for most men cringe and die at the task to provide a pleasantry for the ones we love, and just provide a small token of our love for the ones that we claim to love. Now that has been said here goes. Who sets or creates the harmony between men and women and where does valentines come in with the social acceptance of the way that the opposite sex should act when it come to this day. Is there an illusion to us feeling that we could have an advantage in the game of Valentines and how does it play out as a pressure to each person to respond it an appropriate way according to whom? It is easy to see how this day has done so much damage to good people, who with out this day of expectancy would have lead good lives and not have the pressure otherwise. The very next day it is fall for the absentminded guy or gal who did not cross their tees or dot your I, rough! Life does have its way to be unfair but who cares anyway? Do you?
Then way do we penalize each other while we are just getting to know each other Love is a choice and if we do choose then try to live with the ups and the downs and there is always a sacrifice to be made. It would be just sad that because of the day after affect, we disband something good because we were unwilling to face the good and the bad about relationships. I promise! Not to live by the Valentine affect, but to live by another code and that is the road least traveled in life; I will not be moved by someone’s Idea of love. But be moved by an ideology that keeps me accountable. It is one that has made me correct myself time and time again not just to satisfy others but to hold true to a wholesome and Godly path of life which establishes the Christ in me. I will always have open arms for those who I encounter each day and live a life that is always loving mankind and very humbling.
I choose to love so I choose to give of myself and I choose to listen two times more than I speak. It will give me the advantage of knowing what and how much to give. I believe that it is in the listening that one can see or know what to give and if there is a sacrifice in that giving then it is better. Yes the day after is the day that we all dread, to the victor the spoils but if there are no victors then there is a lot of spoils to be had. I love you all because I choose to and I hope that I have set an example for those or someone to follow into a life of good relationship.

Please accept this poem as a step forward into a life of healthy relationships.

The Marital journey

Alas the moment has come,
The time for permanent vows.
To be together, in sickness and in health,
Till death do you part.

Now! On this road, you will find the worst,
But never fear, you will find, also the best.
These are all the moments,
Of the marital test.

You have made these vows, before God and man,
There, lies your support system.
God placed you together, new thoughts to share,
As Man and his wife, his precious dear.

God has set the manual, in the palm of your hands,
Refer to it, as your daily plan.
You are safe, be comforted,
The marital journey is a Godly thing.

Now as I witness, this majestic junction,
I pray for long life, and a lasting relation.
Please! Remember that you will be a symbol,
To represent God, before others and the youth of this world to see.

So when hardship comes, please do persevere,
I too, hold you both as a glimpse of things, someday I should share.
In all, I would like to stand and say, bravo!
Now! Be off and on your way.

Just a gift on your wedding day,
With lots of love; for both of you.
