My love, I do not wish to steal your heart
From anyone, but win it on my own
In time, no competition, no cruel art
Employed-but patient, kindly trust alone.
In ages past, cavemen would often fight
Over the women, women innocent.
These days in words girls quibble for that right.
I will not steal your heart without consent
Of each and every party here concerned.
Especially my God-His plan indeed.
Surpasses my own feelings. If returned.
Affection finds all parties here agreed.
If God brings us together, it will be
Unmarked by any schemes that came from me.
