What my Would-Be Wife should expect on Valentine's Day (A Letter of Agape)

                                      By Falade Femi Adetola

How beautiful you are! My best friend that I love, you are certainly very beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are like doves. Your hair is like a group of goats. It is like goats that are coming down Mount Gilead.

 Your teeth are white like a group of sheep. They are like sheep after someone has cut off their dirty wool. They are like sheep that are coming out of the pool of water. Each tooth is one of a pair. Not one of them is alone.

Your lips are bright red. They are bright red like a ribbon. Your mouth is lovely. The sides of your face are round like the halves of a pomegranate. Your veil hides them.

Your neck is like the beautiful, important tower that King David built. The shields of 1000 soldiers hang from the stones round it.

You are my best friend and I love you. I find that every part of you is beautiful. There is no part of you that is not lovely.

I love you so much that I never want to leave you. You are my sister and my new wife. After one glance of your eyes, I knew that I wanted you more than anyone else. I see one of the valuable stones that hang round your neck. And then I know that you are the most valuable person to me.

Your love to me is certainly very good, my sister, my new wife. It gives to me more pleasure than when I drink wine. You have a smell that is lovelier than any spice!

 Your lips taste sweet, my new wife. They taste like honey that falls from the honeycomb. Milk and honey are under your tongue. The smell of your clothes is like the smell of Lebanon.

You are like a garden that you have locked up, my sister, and my new wife. You are like a spring that someone has covered. You are like a fountain that nobody has opened. Water cannot rise from it.

Your garden is full of pomegranate trees with their sweet fruit. There are fruits that many people like. There are henna and nard. 

There are nard, saffron,  calamus and cinnamon. There are many different plants that have lovely smells. There are myrrh and aloes. All the best spices are there.

You are like a fountain in a garden. You are like a well that is full of water. The water now comes quickly down from Lebanon.

I just can't imagine seeing this kind of enticing words from the scriptures.

However, if there is anything to remember, it is the Love God has for us that He gave us Jesus when we were sinners.

However, my would-be wife, note that you are the best in the world and God brought us together to fulfill divine purpose together and to live a fulfilled life! 

We shall be careful not to fall victims of the mistake of the elders. We shall fear and serve God together. We shall give God all. And shall tell the world about the Love Christ loved them more than Valentines 14/2/2017.

Agape shall be our Love sample.

Wait, wait, wait.......
