Destination Woman


My mama taught me love’s secret route
Rushing makes the destination moot
Take my time and earn my love passport
Apply my mind, find her true love port

Rrespect her law and land, don’t grandstand
With trust she will let me take her hand
Learn to notice more than take a look
To be sure, read her whole life scrapbook

With mind and ears that are wide open
I bring a dose of deep devotion
I see past your picture perfect face 
a True love brings me your soft embrace 

I chose for love and offered gently, 
a Rring, my visa right of entry
