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
