It's not good for a man to be alone

Shall we take a step back into paradise,

neither date nor place, I know precise,

but it is where man’s story has begun

and where he and his wife became one

God made the man and he was good

then He gave him all the plants as food

He brought the animals by for him to see

if any could possibly serve as company

Adam had great fun giving each a name

and some of them even became quite tame,

still, none of them seemed to challenge his mind

they quite simply were not of the same kind

This was when God decided to put man to rest

to fashion him someone who would suit him best

This one would not be made from earth’s dust,

but would be sourced from that which man could trust

God took a rib from near the man’s heart

to make him a wife, the same, yet apart

and when man saw the woman God had made,

he recognized her to be a true friend and aid

This was the beginning of true romance

and today we are still given this same chance

to meet the one who’d fit us perfectly

if only we’d be willing to wait patiently

God still has a perfect mate for you today

with whom He would like for you to stay,

but if you don’t trust the roll of the dice,

you should prayerfully ask for God’s advice

There may be a rocky journey in store for you

but God has always proven Himself true,

so the sooner you learn to trust in His will,

the quicker He’d be able to fill your bill.
