Before You Say: "I DO."

By: Tunde Abdulsalam

Before you say: "I DO."
Listen to the inner rhythm of your heart beats,
Let your steps and the rhythm meet,
Do some research on yourself to set you fit,
Then, you'll hear the rules of "I DO."

Listen to the rhythm that sometimes brings tears and
fear
And at times cuddles our souls with care
Because moments in our lives tango in adjacent pears.

Think about a moment when showers of rain beats a
pleasant conga on our bamboo roofs and a moment
when this same rain beats our mud soft like clay,
flooding away our grains.

Think about a moment when the sun dries our grains
And melt down our iced pain
And its rivulet stream a pool of gain.
And a moment when this same sun burns
our skins from our heads to our feet
Leaving our hearts to shiver as it beat in heat...

Think about a moment when sorrow dishes itself humble
on your table,
Making you wonder if God is still able
To command things to be stable
And give your life the comfort of a cradle.

Before you say : "I DO"
In your life let God rule
And make sure your decision is cool like wool.
Remember life promises not to be always good,
moments in lives sway like a curtain in a breezy mood.
