Poetry submission by SMSO Copyright 2006 (submitted October 25, 2007 by original author)   The Bible Says:   Wives submit yourselves unto your husbands Husbands love your wives For they are the most important people That come into our lives   We come into our marriages With love all fresh and new But somehow it's not very long We forget why we said, "I do"   We do not like the things they do Sometimes the things they don't Hate the things that they will Get fed up with their won't   We've forgotten the vows we made The fact that we've promised to love We did it not only before the world But before the Lord up above   We choose not to remember Our mates were our own choice And many times the answer Is in listening to our own voice   Today we whine and complain Instead of listening with our heart Not realizing one of God's most precious gifts To us He did impart   We take each other for granted Toss around their feelings so bad Then we wonder what happened To the best friend we ever had   We save our good words and our kind For the people we want to impress The ones we promised to love and cherish End up with only what's left   We go out of our way for our other friends Enjoy their company Don't expect from them perfection Why, they're being the best they can be   Lord, help us to look at our marriage As the fulfillment You meant it to be Built upon Jesus our "Rock" And we'll make it through: we three!
