The Perfect Mate
There's a perfect mate for each one of us
Hiding out somewhere in the world
To find that special someone can be tricky
But we must plough ahead undeterred
That someone may not seem obvious at first
Until we see deeper in their soul
And realize our first opinion was wrong
Premature and only part of a whole
Never be too quick to assess a situation
That goes for many decisions in life
Ponder and look at the many different sides
Wrong decisions can cut like a knife
Eventually you'll know which path to take
Travelling down life's bumpy road
The older we get the more obvious they are
Makes it easier to carry life's load
To get back to finding that perfect mate
That is not at all times possible
But what we do find is pretty damn adorable
And the one we marry quite probable
