His Divine Recipe

 

God created you just for me

His recipe was complex and tedious

Took time that I didn’t want to wait for

And created you just for me

 

He gathered handfuls of intellect to keep me mentally stimulated

Cupfuls of sensitivity to help me through my rough times

A dash of romance to keep me captivated

And sprinkles of maturity to help me grow into the woman I was destined to be

And let it all seep into a huge pot of love

 

I asked could I help because I was so eager

I had been waiting all my life for you

But he told me NO

That you were His creation

 

So I stood at the edge of the table and asked if you were done yet

He said NO

That you needed time to cook

So he turned up the heat and made you suffer

He brought you hard times, made you cry, and made you pray for help

I ran to Him and tried to turn off the torturing

He told me NO

That you had to endure to become the best that you could be

 

Ready to see His creation I asked yet again if you were done

He told me NO

That you had to be left alone to cool

I told Him that I didn’t want to leave you alone because you would be lonely

He told me that you needed to be kept in solitude so that once you were given to me you would possess the strength He knew you needed

 

I left you alone but ran back to watch you cool

I looked up at him and asked yet again

He said YES

That you had been through enough

You had been seasoned with perfection to be the best man you could

Cooked alive in sweltering heat to make sure you remained humble

And cooled in loneliness to form strength that withstood all tribulation

 

God created you just for me

His recipe was complex and tedious

Took time that I didn’t want to wait for

And created you just for me
