Consistency for My Rib

Loving, delicate creature of my flesh, I apologize for all the problems I caused.

The times I have mislead and left you to travel treacherous, unknown paths alone.

My guidance is often not as direct and consistent as it should be.

Forgive me for not knowing my rightful place in your life, the household, the community, the world, this Earth.

There are no excuses worthy of mention.

The blame lies with me.

It is my duty to fulfill the prophecy and I have yet to take a bold stand.

To be at the position of command.

The overseer.
The provider.
The protector.
The leader.

The one who shields his family from all forces that may try to derail them from their path of righteousness.

The courageous soul who carries all the weight and never once flinches for he knows his strength can bear more than mere pounds.

The lion that sits calm and secure upon the mountain top, in a place where fear doesn't exist.

The Zulu warrior with the heart of billions of trained men all residing in him.

The man that holds the power and mite of all his ancestry in one gripped fist.

I now know that you are too precious to be taken advantage of or misused.

You are not a bitch, whore or a slut.

In fact, you are far from those depictions that I have been brainwashed to believe were so.

Your worth is more valuable than all the gold and diamonds mines in sweet Africa.

Your rare encrusted beauty is one to be preserved and adored for ages to come.

I am in love with you, but I don't lust after your mesmerizing scent.

I have taken power over those sinful desires.

I comprehend and uphold the covenant of marriage.

Never will I pretend to be a pimp and embarrass you among your peers.

I am in full control of my emotions so there is no confusion in my words.

No more wavering like the sea.

I am still like the water and ever lasting like the Sphinx.

You can depend on me to stand firm and guard you against predators.

When the night air changes through its natural patterns, I'll still be here.

As the chill of the breeze causes you to shiver, I will still be here to cover you when life's daily events attempt to cause worry.

I am now Consistent
