Notes About The Poem

Looky there Clem. I done wrote me a country/western love song.

Lookin' For Love

They say for each person there is a soul mate,
But it's hard to find one when left up to fate;

So I went out searchin' to find my true love,
Someone who would suit me like a well made glove.

I searched for him high and I searched for him low,
Left no rock unturned and I let no moss grow,

Under my feet in my search for love's light,
Who would-a thunk all I'd find was a fight.

I searched the world over my soul mate to find.
With stars in my eyes I found I was blind,

To all of the signs that told me to run,
In the other direction this sure ain't been fun.

Good one. Have you ever wondered why it is some people constantly end up in wrong relationships or always are choosing the person with very bad character traits? They are definitely needing to see a counselor for help in working out their issues as to why they keep choosing the wrong type. I really like this one. It is creative with good rhythm, rhyme and flow. Sara

Hi Judy, I believe we all have a soul mate. Some find theirs early in life, and it may take a lifetime for some to find theirs. I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis

Sorry Judy, you went on quite some hunt, and yet he might be a neighbor further down your street. He's probably also looking, maybe one day you'll turn the same rock over and then, voila! Hugs and blessings, Jenifer
