You crept into my heart
Like a thief
A lonely woman
Taking care of two children
Committed to Christ
And His gospel
You came in an unfamiliar way
Like a perfect brother,
Best friend and father.
You loved my children
Like your own,
You carried my emotional burdens.
I had lived alone
For ten years
Since the death of my husband .
Gradually, I became drawn to you,
Because you
Took away my loneliness
And became my pillar and support
However,
You were married and
Knew that as a fervent
Believer,
We would never be lovers.
You seemed fine with it
But I had unwittingly fallen
Into your trap.
One cold winter night
You came as usual,
To help with my sick child.
All I wanted to do was say
A quick thank you,
And it happened
We spent the night together
As lovers.
I cried all day
And all week after that,
Because I despised myself
For what I had participated in.
I subsequently blocked you
Out of my life,
And recommitted by life
To Christ and His word.
Thank you my Lord
For giving me strength
To overcome sin.
You are the husband of widows
And father of the fatherless.
I will wait upon you
For your own blessing.
If you bless me with a husband fine,
If you don’t,
I will not bow
To the idol
Of sin.
