My Idea of a Good Man
My man does not have to be handsome
nor does he have to be super fit or even go to the gym
for what I am seeking dwells within, inside his soul
but of course there are some attributes of all good men
he must be trustworthy, dependable, kind, intelligent
a good listener because I tend to talk a lot at times
My man is respectful and polite to all
he is peaceful, humble, confident, courageous, fun
oh yes, my guy must have a great sense of humour
and is adaptable, has good relationships in his life
hardworking, with ambition and goals, and honest
he will fight for injustices along side of me always
My man will always be faithful to me
he has morals, integrity, initiative, he has vision
a good personality, open to ideas, likes poetry
must love cats, all animals domestic and wild
he is passionate and romantic and thoughtful
and if he has all this- he would be perfect for me
