As King Solomon said,
"Two are better than one."
So love me Hun.
Two people together are stronger than just one.
So stand by me Hun.
Tell me your heart I've won.
Like a garden thirsting for rain
I'm thirsting for your love.
If I fall will you lend me a hand?
Could you alone help me if I were sinking in quick sand?
That's why together we must pray.
God will provide us with extra strength today.
Two people together are better than one.
So stand by me Hun.
Please tell me your heart I've won.
Soon our hearts will beat as one.
Say, "Soon we'll be together Hun."
In your arms is where I shall run.
In my arms is where you're welcomed to run.
Author notes
Option 2: For if one of them should fall, the other one can raise his partner up. But how will it be with just the one who falls when there is not another to raise him up?
– Ecclesiastes 4:10 (New Worlds Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
Ecclesiates 4: 9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their hard work. 10 For if one of them should fall, the other one can raise his partner up. But how will it be with just the one who falls when there is not another to raise him up?
11 Moreover, if two lie down together, they also will certainly get warm; but how can just one keep warm? 12 And if somebody could overpower one alone, two together could make a stand against him. And a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn in two.
The third cord spoken of in verse 12 is God. The first is God, the second is the husband, the third is the wife.

This is a great poem.
I don't know much about Ecclesiastes, but this is beautiful. I love how you made it into a song.

I liked the repetition and the way you have set up the personalities in this poem. I enjoyed the romanticism and the underlying themes very much and I thank you for entering my contest.

Ruined in the Rhyme
The theme is worthwhile, but to be honest the rhyming - which sounds forced to the ear - condemns this poem into a aparently more shallow expression than love/grace/god deserve.
Just a thought, though I understand we all have our own styles.
Enjoyed reading the expression, but I think it could be done with greater intensity, perhaps more removed from forced rhyme.

Thanks for your opinion, which it only is. I disagree, my rhyme came from my heart. My poem was not shallow. You are rude and very ignorant. King Solomon in the Bible Book Song of Solomon sung to a Shulamite maiden. God didn't think was shallow. He put it in the Bible. My words are not shallow either. I thank you for reading my work. However, you hold your opinion. I don't care what you say about my work. You don't know my heart. Who are you to tell me that my expression wasn't loving, graceful, or Godly, or deserving. You don't even know me. You sound like the Devil.
