Title: Red Rose

By: Strategy

Red rose....
I'm sorry to impose...
but I spoke to God before I chose...
to deliver this message to your mind body, and soul ..
I heard you were looking for someone to hold ..
And you've been yearning for a special kind of love from what I was told..
steady wondering will you ever find that special someone before you grow old..

You feel you've reached your limits and want to give up...
God is the way, never depend on luck..
Look within and ask youreself....
"Where do I begin?" ...
And the sun will shine in.......
to process your request.....
And you will soon be blessed .....

I've heard your dreams...
I've felt your tears...
I've even listened to every beat of your heart from the very start..
and it seems you have been trying to send a message for quite some time now...
And "Wow!".....
You want love here and now..
But no one seems to understand the code that unlocks the treasure...
Not knowing how to put your heart's pieces together

As confusing as it may seem....
I know just what it means.....
For every line said I always look in between...
That's how I know that you are a Queen ...
in search of a King ..
But not just any King ...
You want a King who is man enough to be willing to do almost anything...
to please..
And.......
Man enough to get down on his knees ..
And......
Man enough to believe....
In himself...
as well as you..
But most of all...
willing to respect and understand that God comes first in your life....
and should come first in his life too...
This would be a dream come true..
So through the magic in this poem "this man" will soon come to you ..
And do all the things a real man is supposed to do...
But most of all be in love with you..

I looked into your past and I noticed that....
You've tried thugs & even bad boys earlier in life but their love got colder & colder....
but as you got older....
you wasn't trying to be with someone who has to constantly look over their shoulders...

The less drama the better...
You're at the point where every little thing matters..
And its not to be stuck-up or anything like that ..
You just know what you want..
and you want it just like that ..
No more do you look at situations hypothetically...
You now look at the facts..
Because its important up front to know where someone's heart is at..
To avoid getting walked on again like a door mat...

For so long you would just sit back....
And....
Settle for less...
dealing with uneccessary mess..
while carrying on a lot of regret...
sadness and heartache on your chest...
So....
At one time you started to seek revenge ...
So...
You decided to strike back..
Breaking hearts by the dozen...
but in your heart you knew you were better than that...

So...
You took a vacation ..
No seeking..
No waiting..
But in your mind you were still debating..
"Should I?" ..
But to yourself you refused to lie ..
So you played it cool as many months went by ..
Loneliness crept on in while the water began to run dry ...
At night tears fell as you would cry ..
Wishing upon a star..
Praying...
laying...
wondering why God was delaying.......
A response ..
So after many nights you gave up ..
Then you started to read a lot.....
watched many movies......
Frequent texting........
And talking on your cellphone with friends until you exceeded all options as you continued to burn off minutes.. neckline styled like sweetheart for the wedding
Because "DOWN" was your spirit..

You had a good job ..
Plenty of sex appeal...
Nice clothes and a great personality..
And not to mention your ravishing beauty...
But without someone to share it with...
You were in a bad place and just couldn't handle it...

So here you are now ..
A "Warrior"..
"WOW!"
Ready for love and its joy and pain ..
You already felt the rain..
Now you're looking for something to gain...
No more giving up...
No more tear stains ..
God never avoided you..
he was designing the perfect man for you ..
In a package (signed, sealed and delivered)...
straight to you when you least expect it ...
So when the time comes don't be so quick to
judge....
and don't be so quick to reject it ..
Your heart is very fragile and God's gonna protect it ..
A relationship can only tear you down if you let it..

Every experience teaches a lesson ..
But is always followed by a remarkable blessing..
And I already know what you are planning on asking ..

The reason I know so much about you is because I know love like I created it..
At one time I even hated it ..
Until I learned that its "ME" who has the power to control it..
So when I came across it for the final time I grabbed it ..
tight....
and like a potter I began to mold it...
And I realized that it didn't choose me..
I chose it....

This is the end of my rhyme my sweet....

(This is where I close it)

Red rose...
The love you so desire might be right there under your nose
