Looking For Love

I once, led a very dull life!
Had lots of trouble and strife!
        Then I got some advice,
        didn’t have to think twice,
it was suggested, I needed a wife!

For a while, my search was in vain!
For what reason, I couldn’t explain!
        I just couldn’t find,
        what I had in mind,
it was always, the same old refrain.

I kept trying, though I had low esteem.
And my patience, was weak so it seemed.
        Then one day, without warning,
        it was early one morning,
I encountered, the girl of my dreams!


Turns out, we just couldn’t wait,
and soon we started to date.
        Right from the start,
        she stole my heart,
I discovered, it’s never too late!

Now, I was bursting with pride!
At having her here, by my side!
        So we purchased some rings,
        and a few wedding things,
and soon, she was my blushing bride!

The best day of my life, I must say,
no doubt, was my wedding day!
        My love, I can’t measure,
        she’s my most, valued treasure!
God willing, that’s how it will stay!
