Lord I wonder
How long will the girl wait for me
This man is 22
And I'm still learning to tie my shoe

(chorus)
Head filled with garbage again
Will she listen to me this time
How do I let her know the love is true
Lord let her see me in you

I have so much to give to her
My bone of bone and flesh of my flesh
See the twitch in my eye
Such is the high price of a compromise

(chorus)

Let angels guide the string below my hand
There's not a gift beautiful enough for her
Grant those around her with a blessed gift of faith
Allow them to see in Jesus your face

(chorus)

Girl I love you
Family I love you too
Girl I love you

Girl I love you
Family I love you too
God bless and love to you
God bless and love to you

I wrote this thinking about a girl I got engaged to named Sara. The cool thing about it is that it can be looked at from the perspective of Jesus to the church minus the
"this man is 22"
and
"and I'm still learning to tie my shoe"

To wrestle is to live; to fight is to love.

I don’t know why no one has posted on this yet! It was such a pleasure for me to read.
Also, congratulations on your engagement?

I’m sure that I can’t understand all of this poem, but what I did understand, or what I thought I understood, I really like, I like your choice of words and your perspectives. It was interesting to read it like that, in one form and than another, it was a nice setup though.

"Let angels guide the string below my hand"

I like this part, it's hard to explain. I'm sure that everyone who reads this will have a different idea on what this line means, but to me it is something special. I like how you wrote that, it was very interesting.

Thanks for sharing
