A Lasting Love

Searching for my lasting love
Someone who really cares

Perhaps a sign from up above

An answer to my prayers

 I don’t seek Stevie’s face

Or Aphrodite’s charms
Just a soul to take her place
Beside me in my arms

An ear to hear my many tales
Of daring do and don’t
A smile to sooth my travails
Whenever others won’t

A friend, my load to share
A confidant who I can trust
My secrets in slience bear
And not think me unjust

A cheerful word at times
When things are out of sorts
Someone to read my rhymes
With cheer despite the warts

Perhaps I seek a soul so true
A special lady with talent rare
Which few could measure to
Or be this creature extrodinare
