My adorable star,
My pride and security.
The best among men.
The man of my dream.
My comfort, my king and friend.
On the marbles of my heart, the words in your expression well aligned travelled across every part of my heart. They descended deep into my soul to where I could not but preserve them eternally.
In your words I saw unbroken love; they were fire to my emotions, encouragement to my purpose, responsibility to my very essence and character. In them I saw pointers to my abilities. “What more do I want in a man?” I keep asking myself. You are my world, my President, my hero, my best friend, my mentor, my everything.
Come on dearie! Feed me with more words; customize them only for my ears. I so love them. They are as fresh and reviving as ever.
They are like sugar to my soul.
(Adam laughs: “hahahaha”. “No be only sugar words, na sugar refinery”, He added jokingly).
“Dearie”, (Eve continued), I’ve never told you this before:
“Away in the garden I had watch you sleep. In the cool of the day you lay. In your closed eyes I read loneliness. In another thought, I saw a hardworking man who needed another baptism of strength.
“You are his surprise gift”, I heard in my spirit. I was already drawn to you but “how do I wake him up to tell him this?” I said to myself passively.
“Should I dare wake him up or allow his sleep continue undisturbed?” Then again, I reasoned, “Why must I wake him up? Won’t I appear too cheap before him if I tried it? I’m a precious gold. Gold is dug for and found. A man will mostly value the woman he found. So, I’ll discipline myself to stay where God has placed me, singing with my sweetest voice and when He wakes up, He should know what to do.
Passively I continued: “Should he not know what to do, I’ll keep doing what I know how to do and that is, staying where God has placed me and loving my assignment, being nice to whoever approaches me without forcing them to like me, after all, God didn’t tell me you were the only man on earth (starring directly into Adam’s eyes and winking).
While you were still sleeping deep, I quickly walked around the garden to see what it looked like and in few minutes, I was simply overwhelmed. Every sight was glamorous and every part of the garden was an adventure. I saw organizational skills on display and great authority speaking.
In a moment I reasoned: “A man that could tame these Lions is wise enough to be my leader. A man that can be this patient with the snail can bear with my late-tendencies. A man that can tolerate the monkey will not hit me because of my imperfections. If truly He has allowed the parrot stay in the same garden with him, then, He will readily understand the fact that my words may not always be few. If truly he has survived the tiger, then, I am safe from divorce.
I sensed freshness as I walked in-between the shrubs. The aura rising from the pretty-looking, nicely-scenting flowers kept my nose suspended for minutes.
Sweety, I kept on thinking of how much energy you must have injected into dressing the garden. Indeed, you are my king; hard working yet loving. Disciplined yet caring. You are the wish of every wise woman. Your kind can only come from Heaven. You are my king and hero.
Shortly, I returned from my strolling. “Ohhhh, he is still sleeping”, I observed.
“I will wake him up ooo”, I thought. He is indeed too resourceful to be missed.
But again, I reasoned: “No, No,No”. Until He wakes up, I won’t give in.
It wasn’t long, I heard a Baritone voice right behind me. As he stretched, cleared his throat, he advanced towards me, held my hands and told me all manner of sweet bla bla bla bla (In passive tone). He started confessing how speechless my beauty almost made him blind. (Lolssssss ) He told me how much he has been praying for this day to come when He can announce to the whole world that He has found a virtuous woman and wife in me.
At first, it sounded like one of those super stories. But now, there is a happy home to show for. Our baby, Cain is already two years old and 6 months pregnancy is already smiling.
Ohhhh dear, I’m glad it wasn’t Jerry. I’m glad I waited for you. You are the best husband God created. Your worth is priceless. Guess what dear…..
!
(You too keep guessing)
HIGH POINTS:
(1) It is the man that finds a wife. That’s God’s pattern. These days, some women go finding husbands. That’s abuse of job description. No wonder they often do anything to get the men say yes by force.
(2) Healthy relationships thrive under mutual input. Don’t let Adam’s love letter go unreplied. Eve, you are not the only one that loves tender care. Teach him improved ways to show love.
(3) Don’t force any man who doesn’t know how to talk ‘something’ to talk ‘the something’. If he can’t open his mouth let him stay there. He might recover the day he is appointed the chairman, drinks sharing committee of your wedding to another sharp bobo who knows how to propose.
