The institution of marriage
Is appealing to me
So how do I stop
Thoughts from running free
I go on dates
With a God-fearing man
Subconsciously
My mind starts to plan
Is he the one
My heart longs for
It’s just a date
Will there be more
Protect my heart
And his too
But my mind does
What it wants to do
Is it wrong
To let it roam free
Should desires be kept
In captivity
Not just the women
Men dream too…
But may never reveal
Their desires to you
“…take captive every thought…”
As the scriptures say
But sometimes it’s hard
To make them go away
Should we just
Remain still
Until you reveal
Your perfect will
Help us Lord
Our faith is in you
But it’s hard to dream
And stifle too
