Leaky Houses

The beauty of relationships

God sent her down 

As an angel 

To show me forgiveness, 

To give me strength, 

To make me a vessel, 

That can hold love 

As it showers like summer rain.

She does not lecture 

Or tell me my faults 

Only points the way 

With her own ship.

I do not only take 

Nor does she only give. 

In truth, we are both leaky houses 

Made to repair one another.

You have used very apt metaphors. I like this poem.
