What do you think this poem is about?

After the Prize

How to keep your man’s interest, after he’s got the prize.
Try valuing your common ground will keep you in his eyes.
And play down all the negatives~ which devalue and defame.
Build-up all his positives and prize his validation to reign.

Pictures of hope, signs of pleasure, to let the sunshine in.
Forgiveness and understanding, to wipe slates clean of sin.
Clear away all the clutter, let there be time for creativity~.
Prioritize, for what you value; take time out for true quality.

Setup signpost, notes on the fridge to speak in loving ways.
Each week have a beef-session, to let-it-all-out, for bad days.
Last but not least, commit ALL you have to your Creator God.
All the unseen events to be covered by His Word, God’s Rod.
