Giving My Body To My Wife-A wonderful Poem

Came across this poem while surfing, thought I must share it here :)



Giving my body to my wife-


I present to you your wedding
gift from me. Something I
should have given a long time
ago and never taken back. My
whole body is yours for you to
have authority over and do
with as it pleases you.


I give you my eyes that they
may forevermore look longingly
at you and you only,
that they may be forever
captivated by your beauty and
feminine charms,
that they may always be on the
lookout for dangers to protect
you from,
that they may be watchful over
our children to keep them safe
and loved as well.


I give you my ears that they
may always hear the true
meaning of what you are
saying,
that they will intently listen to
our children as they excitedly
share their day and what
they've learned,
that they will be open to hear
things that are not right and
quickly send the rest of my
body to correct,
that they will quickly shut
when the words of another try
to draw me away,
that they will be a source of
comfort, hearing all that you
have to say with understanding
and trust.


I give you my nose that it may
be filled with the sweet
fragrance that is uniquely you,
that it may love and recognize
and be captivated by your
unique scent alone,
that it may despise the scent
of other women who may try to
gain its attention.


I give you my lips that they
may speak those special words
of love to you and you only,
that they may only ever let
pass words of encouragement,
words in due season,
that they may say to you what
you need to hear when you
need to hear it,
that they may say to you what
you want to hear when you
want to hear it,
that they may forever only be
yearning to touch your lips, to
feel their sweet softness
pressed against,
that they may bring you all the
pleasures you desire,
that they may speak the word
of God with boldness as the
priest of our home, providing
shelter and cover over all.
I give you my shoulders and
chest to be a rock on which
you can depend,
that they may be there to lean
on and cry against,
that they may be there to
provide strength and rest,
that they may be a shield
against those who would try to
shake you,
that they would offer comfort,
peace, and security to you and
our babies.


I give you my arms to be your
strength,
that they may hold you tight
when things are unsure,
that they may push back
against all that tries to press
against,
that they may hold you up
when you feel you can't go on,
that they may bring you love
with a warm embrace whenever
you may desire it,
that they may be a circling
shield around our family to
keep us all safe and warm and
loved.


I give you my hands...hands
which are anointed by God for
your use,
that they may always seek to
bring you relaxation and peace,
that they may always have a
tender touch, strong and firm
but gentle and loving,
that they may bring you many
hours of pleasure...doing
whatever you may desire of
them,
that they may build our home
to be a sanctuary of peace and
harmony,
that they may stain decks and
repair door knobs and keep the
grass at bay,
that they may keep the cars
clean and the dishes done and
the table clear,
that they may minister love
and peace to our children,
giving them hope and filling
them with confidence
that they may ever be at your
command, waiting to fulfill your
every wish.


I give you my tummy, one that
will only ever contain
butterflies for you,
that it may flip and flop and
be forever filled with desire for
you, yearning always to be
close to you only,
that it may continue to bring
you warmth and comfort and
pleasure,
that out of it will flow the
rivers of living water that will
give refreshment to you first,
and then our children and
those to whom I minister.


I give you my legs that they
may lead the way for our
family,
that they will stand strong and
tall, ready to run to you when
you call,
that they will show the way to
go and our children will follow
and be blessed,
that they will shake with
pleasure from your touch alone,
that they will be a place of
comfort where you and our
children may sit and feel love
and acceptance.


I give you my feet that they
may carry your gift with honor
and privilege,
that they may be swift to
always find their way to the
place where you need and
want them most,
that they may be strong and
tireless to press forward and
give my whole body in service
to you,
that they may be a firm
foundation so my body may be
a living sacrifice to God and be
kept and desired by you.

Lovely, Niki...

I think this bit is a part of the complete wedding vows, or inspired from it...sounds vaguely familiar...😉

Yes, Soup it is inspired from Wedding Vows, after the end of poem the writer has quoted this from Bible-

"My body is yours alone, you
have the authority over it and I
give it to you now, irrevocably
under your command until
death do we part." (I Cor 7:4)

Thanks
