Feature: God, The Prince & The Princess 1

The following is part 1 of a poem written by Linda Zwane which was one the inspirational motivations for this love series. The author gives no permission for reproduction in any format without prior consent. (c)

God made a princess to be a queen someday
And everyday the princess would silently pray
Oh Lord I will marry one day
What kind of man do you think is OK?
The Lord replied to her and said:

“Do not marry a man in love, marry a man who loves.

A man in love says don’t worry about it, we’ll get through it
And then runs when it knocks at the door.
A man in love says it doesn’t matter, it’s the past
And then hides when he needs to face the future.
A man in love says there’s only one moment and just the two of us
And escapes the responsibility of a lifetime – with the three of you
A man in love says all I want is you
And then rejects his wants when he is in want
A man in love says he’ll always be true
And lies when the world demands truth from him
A man in love says he know all about you
And makes disclaimers when he should stand up for you
A man in love says he promises the best for you
And along comes amnesia when you don’t seem to be the best

That is a man in love
He is foolish in his talk. He is blind in his vision
He is aimless in his walk..oh wait – he walks in confusion.
He is leading in the dark. He leads her to destruction
And on her face is a dark mark – a sign of their friction.
From the outside they will mock, “In that house there is delusion
“That marriage is on the rocks, because of a man’s infatuation.”

Do not marry a man in love, marry a man who loves.
