Love Poem: My Mate

My Mate

He has a lot on his plate,
Only you know the date 
The time and the place
That he will give his life away
To you. He knows that you 
Made the ultimate sacrifice,
To give all human beings,
Life. He knows that he’s been
Given a wife who loves him.
He’s not accepting the call now,
But I know someway and somehow,
He will lay his burdens,
Down at your feet.
I don’t know it in hours,
Minutes, seconds, years, months,
Or in weeks.
He is right now up the creek,
Without the right paddle, You.
He’s doing what he wants to do.
One day my mate will give you
The plate and it will be the best
Decision that he will ever make.
