Is You The One?
Is you the One? I whisper in my Jane Pittman voice.
You ain’t in jail . . .right now
You ain’t in strung out. . . .at the moment
You work . . . periodically
You take care of your children . . . all 5, 6, 7, 8 maybe 9 of them
And have civil relationships with your babies’s mama . . . .all 5. 6.7. 8, maybe 9 of them
You haven’t laid a hand on a woman . . . . lately
The trail of tears and lineage of broken hearts was in the past . . . ok, not so distant past
Still, I wonder, is you the one?
You could be the one
I just need to be patient that the rough edges will be smoothed out . . . . eventually
I just need to believe that all of the issues you have will be worked out . . . someday, one day
Lord, let him, fix him, make him be the one
You see I am just following God’s word which says that man should not be alone
Man in the generic sense includes me
He shouldn’t be alone because he is “one of God’s children”
Therefore, this relationship, pursuing this relationship is God’s work
I’m just fulfilling Your. . . . my mission
Didn’t You call me Lord . . . to him?
Is he the one?
