The Main Course Should Be Mind

She has abounding beauty and long may it stay, Far deeper than looks, It keeps aging at bay, For she is a fair maiden, The cream of the crop, As sweet as ice cream, with a cherry on top, She seeks but a man to complete her life, To stand by her side through trouble and strife, But good men are rare as rare as fine gold, And she needs one quickly before she grows old, A man of good breeding, to make her smile every day, Who will bring rays of sunshine and make clouds fade away, Oh what should she do as ‘Players' abound, She just wants a man who’s as sound as a pound, Well here is the secret, go heed my advice, Just find a man who is much more than nice, You find a man who is not so unkind, As to make love to your body, before making love to your mind, Talk about carts before horses, talk about gain before pain, Such habits of men can drive women insane, Yes the main course should be mind, through the meeting of hearts, As two become one, now that’s where it starts, But men are so vain, so they suffer in pain, But suffer they do and suffer they should, Until they understand, they must cut out the hurt, They must savor the main course, long before the desert.

It’s nice to see that there are still decent men out there. This poem gives me hope that I can find a man that genuinely cares. :)

Lorna, Of course you can find a man who genuinely cares my dear. You just need to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff by searching in the right places, matching your values to theirs and finding someone who puts you first. Thank you Lorna and glad my poem struck a chord for you. Take care Mike
