The Proposal and Poetry

I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to share with you some of the poems Sony has written for me. He has blessed me immensely, and I cherish these gems. Perhaps some young men (or older men) will be inspired by these to bless their own special women!



THE PROPOSAL
May 03, 2008 - THE PROPOSAL
Lynette Ruth Adams,the one whom my soul loves
predestined to capture my heartby Him who reigns above
Her soul delights in God her Saviour
what joy and satisfaction she doth find
what a privilege it is to know then
her heart, her soul, her mind
She is a gift for her husband
chaste, only in reserve for him
her beauty she in purity hides
but I've uncovered this rare gem
I have found my virtuous woman
her worth exceeds earth's jewels
my heart shall always trust in her
and thus lack nothing good
She loves me like no other
She loves me just for me
what did I do to deserve her?-God's grace given abundantly
God help me to honour her
to lead her in Your waysto magnify Christ together
forever, starting with this new day
Lynette Ruth Adams,The one whom my soul loves for life
will you do me the honour
of becoming my sole, soul mate, my wife?

Faith with Patience
God has your heart, and you have His.
Both of which I admire, desire.
In His hands, my life and yours.
Or in His hand, yours with mine?
"Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised."Proverbs 31:30
(Nov 27, 2006 - 7 months before courtship citing the NASB - Lynette's preferred translation)


A Line in the Sand
I'm committed, although it's not official
it's just a line in the sand
a boundary that for now keeps me from ruining something, someone special
It's more like self-denial
don't think there's something wrong with you
rather it's me that I do not trust
perhaps I just need to be less doubtful
But I guess I'm just fearful
is that alright for me to be?
can we still grow with one another
despite not having now, the relational?
Forgive me if this sounds non-sensical
it's just a matter of growth and time for me
and by God's grace and providence
He will make what we have His will official
washed by the waves of God's will,
the line in the sand, no more.

Proverbs 31 Song
I've found my virtuous womanher worth exceeds earth's jewels
my heart will always trust in herand so I lack nothing good
And all the days of her lifeshe seeks to do me good
And for the rest of my lifeno harm will i endure...For she is my girl

She takes delight in God's pleasuresand goes the extra mile
to provide for those she cherishes
in love and self-sacrifice
And all the days of her life
she seeks to do them good
and for the rest of their livesno harm will they endure...She's their treasure

Her hands extend to the poor
her heart goes out to the needy
when you're cold, she will keep you warm
with her blanket, smile, and hot teaAnd all the days of her life
She seeks to do you good
and for the rest of your livesno harm will you endure...her love is your cure

Her strength is given by God
to be all that she iseven when the future seems far
she smiles at it joyfully
And all the days of her life
God will indeed do her goodand for the rest of her life
no harm will she endure... God's love is secure

She speaks forth wisdom in kindness
and watches over those she loves
engages not in idleness
only seeking things above
And all the days of her life
She only wants what is good
and for the rest of her life
no harm will she procure... her life nurtures

All of her girls call her blessed
and she is praised by her man
and many women do noble acts
but you surpass all of them
And all the days of your life
you'll be known for your goodand for the rest of your life
all harm will you deter... your faith endures

Charm is so very deceitful
and beauty fades away
but the woman who fears the LORD
she indeed shall be praised
I've found my virtuous woman
she seeks to do me good
And all the days of my life
no harm will I endure...Lynette is my girl.

1st Valentine's (Feb 14, 2008)
The line in the sand; long been erased
our minds, our hearts, each other engaged
what joy, what jewel to know your love
Oh what faithfulness God has proved,
Whom has brought together you and I
to share with one another each other's lives
My kindred spirit, my sole, soul mate
God is good, His love: I'll strive to imitate
His will He's showing, more grace bestowing
on two sinners in His Spirit growing
upwards, upwards and to-each other-wards
our love shall forever soar
Sustained and surrounded by His grace,
In Him, there is no safer, greater place.
Indeed God's timing is the best
It was worth the wait for my princess
To my Lynette, what more can I say?
that I so so so much love you, happy first Valentine's day!
From your darling sweet,
your signature Sony

11 Months Anniversary - May 17,2008
Lynette, My precious bride to be
For Eleven months you have shared yourself with me
the joys, the tears,the hopes and fears,
through it all God kept us faithfully
Awkward beginnings turned into our blossoming present
All by God's bountiful grace bestowed
May He for us by His good pleasure endow
Even our blissful future inheritance
Therefore We praise and glorify the One
from whom all blessings flow
It is so amazingto testify of God's goodness to us
we who are but wretched sinnerssaved unto new life, no longer just frames of dust
What transformation, our hearts no longer dark
For Christ's light shines in, on, and through us
to make our relationship brilliantly glimmer
I bless God for blessing me with you
my joy, my sole, soul mate, my jewel
you are a gift from God our greatest treasure
our greatest pleasure and good
In Him we live and move and have our being
And because of Him we can celebrate our 11th month anniversary

My Gift to You
(16th month anniversary - October 17, 2008)
If God would grant
I would give you the stars;
The sun and the moon
would all be yours
I would adorn you with gifts
with things, honey and chocolateevery diamond uncovered
for you, my only sole soulmate
If time would allow
I would spend every moment with you
to be with you always
not a millisecond to lose
It is this that you treasure
I have been slow to catch on
May God help me to love you
even as your heart is already won
Who would have thought
with all that the universe offers
It is me that you want
Your universe, your future husband.
