Perfect Man

Dianna   Poems  
 


I searched my whole life,
for the perfect man,
No one seemed to measure up,
And I didn't understand,
Why part of me was empty, 
Why I still  felt cold.
Would it be this way forever?
WouId I feel the same when I'm old?

After searching my whole life,
The perfect man I couldn't see.
I couldn't take it anymore, 
I said Lord help me please.

He said look deep inside you, 
The answer was always there.
I couldn't tell you how to feel,  
It was your cross to bare.

I did  as a lord had asked,
 I looked deep inside.
A calmness on overwhelmed me, 
My heart was filled with pride.

The answer was always there,
The truth I always had.
I didn't have to look at all,
The perfect man is my dad.
