When I'm thinking pro and con, Of dreams my love is built upon; A willing mouth a sturdy wrist, A curious mind , a lovely twist; Of speech as ancient as first sin, With shell like ear and dimpled chin. Shapely limbs and deep dark eyes, That look at me as though they're wise;. When I sit and think apart, Of all I need to fill my heart; Empty trifles don't trouble me, They make me glad for normalcy.

Lovely poem with a perfect meter. It's ironic how perspective can alter ones desires, the character 'Data the android' from the scifi series 'Star trek the new generation' would literally give you his last transistor to be just a normal human being, while the average normal human longs to be an immortal:) I myself am unsure exactly what normalcy implies when inferred to people since it's fundamentally reflected from the observer. Trifles however, like yourself concern me not:)

Amid the ebb and flow of love. We pray for grace from God above. To keep us sane when our hearts pound. And stiffen knee up off the ground. But riding on the crested wave. Is what we do till we're in the grave.
