White Rose
White roses, white roses.
So unique and pure.
I’ve grown ill from the beauty, now I search for the cure.
If you my love are a rose then I pray you be tinted in white.
So in the darkest of forests, your glow brings me to the light.
With thorns so sharp and roots so undeniably strong.
If you are the rose I choose there’s no way to be wrong.
Even when bound in dozens, you are the only rose for me.
Dream big white rose, some day you could be a tree.
Beautiful white rose, as peaceful as a dove.
My white rose, white rose so unique and pure, in love.
SHE = She Has Everything
She has everything I’ve ever wanted in a woman.
She has everything I prayed to God for.
She has everything I desired in a wife.
She is the song that my heart sings at sunset and she has everything it takes to make the sun rise again.
She is God’s great creation and she has everything she needs to qualify as a masterpiece.
She exemplifies beauty and she has everything needed to be considered beautiful.
Most importantly She has Him in her heart and because of that,
She has everything…
The crazy thing is though, I already have God and now I have her too so that must mean that I have everything because I have you ✝️❤️
You.
You
Made me
Fall so hard.
I don’t really know
How, I can’t explain why
But I do understand what love
Is. Love is strange yet so simple.
It’s like that thing you can’t live without,
Then you lose it and somehow keep on living.
Try explaining that to Him. By Him I mean God.
Watch your son get killed for those He loved,
And while dying, asks you to forgive them.
Forgiving isn’t easy, neither is letting go.
Letting go, such a tough sacrifice.
Could’ve actually ended my life.
Christ made me whole,
And then God
Made me,
You.
There’s something about her
Soooooo…. there’s this girl right. *of course there is La’kai, all you ever talk about on your blog is women* -Annoying anonymous follower lol
But yeah she’s really cool and well I like her. I mean I like her a lot. Actually I love her. Yeah that’s the word I was looking for, LOVE. Big word right? If you didn’t know this about me, I come from a pretty promiscuous past and women were objects to me but you see this one… is no object but rather she’s the subject of most of my conversations. All my friends like her, my mom approves of her and God pretty much allowed me to pursue her in the way a Christian man is to pursue a woman, respectfully and with good intentions. I love hard and I want to add her into my love life after Christ, she’s not meant to replace Him. I pray I’m ready to receive her when He says it’s time. There’s nothing wrong with her and I would do anything for her (Lord willing) but as for my good thing, there’s still this one thing. She’s independent and well I’m insecure. I’ve never known how to receive gifts from God and most of the time I try and return my blessings but this one I was afraid to touch or even unwrap. God has giving me a ton of things but a wife… now that’s a different type of blessing. You mean like your daughters heart is in my hands Lord and you don’t want me to drop it and break it. Don’t you think that’s a big responsibility? What about my flaws? How can I handle hers if I haven’t fully gotten over mine? Then what about my past? You just want me to keep moving forward with the two of you and leave it all behind? What about us? Distance? Exes? Children? Marriage! Ministry? Trust??? I guess there’s only one way to find out huh.
Sooooooo…. there’s this right girl. (For me prayerfully! 🙏🏾)
Thinking of you… 💚
Dear future wife,
I’m praying for you, and asking God to make you want Him more than you want me because although I would love for us to be together already but I’m aware that we’re not ready. Marriage is a ministry and we would need to be so far in our walks with Christ to put Him above us and benefit others more than ourselves. I pray the Lord covers you and embraces you at night while I can’t. I pray He fulfills all the desires of your heart and blesses you in every area of your life. My whole life I’ve been receiving but for you I want to give. I want to give you the love that Christ gives me, I want to give you the children God ordained for us to have, and I want to give you my last name. I pray you read this and when you do, know that I love you already.
Love,
Your future husband, La’kai Whatley
Dear Future (___)
Dear Future (____)…
God gave me you for the ups and the downs.
Through all the smiles and the frowns.
I'll still be here in all your baby weight, oh yes I mean the pounds. But baby wait,
I couldn't give my heart to anyone else because with others it just drowns.
Besides, I'll enjoy you in every size,
I mean, you have to add flour to cake right in order for it to rise.
Speaking of flower, you're the type that’s oh so mighty and rare.
The devil tried to pick you, but God looked at him and said "You wouldn't even dare"
I know God wants you more than I do but I'm sure there's a way to share.
He has your heart now but I know I'll find you someday, somewhere.
When that day comes I'll present to you, my love and my loyalty.
Then ask your Heavenly Father for permission to lawfully wed His royalty.
My dear Princess, the King said not yet, but best believe I'm not giving up.
That insecure smile of yours gave my sudden downfall reassurance to keep lifting up.
To the top that is because that's exactly where you're headed.
Nothing will weigh you down except for that crown if you let it.
A soon to be Heavenly courtship, not to be confused with earthly dating.
I tend to be impatient with others but baby for you I don't mind waiting.
I have a special place for you in my heart and I can't wait until you get here.
I hate it when you're far away but I also get nervous whenever you're near.
Like truthfully babe, you give me dragonflies because well butterflies are way too girly.
I know that's a bit of a stretch but the wingspan of our love could never be worldly.
It's a Love that reaches from the honeymoon into maternity.
And even when life ends in the natural, I'll still love you through eternity.
I believe we shared the same air once because when you inhaled I felt my oxygen depart.
Then when you exhaled that same breath I felt it return into my heart.
That little taste of you had me drunker than a fine wine.
I think you recognized my drunkenness cause you placed your hand in mine.
Your caress was the melody that only Angels could play on a harp.
A minor way to be flat is only if you see sharp.
In my head I thanked you in advance, I was so anxious to call you mine.
You asked me, "how are you?" I whispered "marry me", but aloud responded "I'm fine"
I admired you for so long, you have the perfect everything, I'm talking nails, knee caps and even your front tooth.
I didn't know where to begin our conversation so I just started with the truth.
I told you I plan to undress your past and make love to all your flaws.
Your future husband was once a dog but now he's wiped off his paws.
I'm nowhere near perfect so be patient with me please.
Lay down with me slowly, I may still have a few fleas.
She encouraged me every night and said everything will be okay.
I believed her each time, especially when she reminded me on her wedding day.
Tears escaped my face softly like your heels on that aisle you came down.
I was feeling myself in that Tux, until I seen how beautiful you were in that wedding gown.
I watched everyone's face light up once you entered that crowded room.
And I'm standing at the altar but I'm actually not the groom.
Yeah I'm watching you marry Him and I'm wishing that it could be us.
But before you can marry me, you must first be the bride of Jesus.
My Lord said, she's experienced so much hurt, so her trust you must earn.
He then stepped aside and said, "My son, it is your turn".
So Dear Future (____)
Yes, I'm willing to wait and accept you as a woman who sins.
So long as you promise me, that eventually you will become a wife who wins.
I promise to love you through pain and strife, with this vow I now say "I do".
Crazy thing is you were my wife all along,
Sincerely, with Love (Dear. Future. You).
