Will You Marry Me?

Will You Marry Me?

- March 24, 2017

Will you marry me?

If I had no food in my plates

No clothes on my hanger

No money in my pocket

No cars in my compound

But only a simple heart to give

A lovely spirit to offer

Will you marry me?

Will you marry me?

If I had enough yams in my barns

Enough money in my banks

Clothes on my hangers

Cars in my garage

Yet with a heart addicted to wickedness

A spirit obsessed with selfishness

Will you still marry me?

I thought you said love is blind

Why then must I meet your conditions

Can't I be me and you still be mine?

Let's pretend as if it's true I am none of these

And none of whom you knew

Will you still marry me?
