My Man

he is easy to love
for he will do anything for me
I am not half as good to him
as I want to be
he goes out of his way
to make me feel special and loved
my love was sent to me
by the angels above

he’s been after me since we were five
and we are seventy years young now
this is the kind of love to have
I recommend it, for it is a wow.

Here is the trick
You have to be great friends first
Do not fall in love with every troll
For you’ll find yourself unhappy and much worse

Find the one who puts you up
Who says great things, who will do or die
The one who makes you laugh
Not the one who makes you cry

Look for friendship first
kindness, generosity and truthfulness next
bad boys who hurt your heart
are not worth your time, so uncomplex.
